CBC News reports that comedian Russell Brand, 51, was sentenced to more than 10.5 years at London's Southwark Crown Court for rape and three sexual assaults committed between 2004 and 2009, with Judge Joel Bennathan calling him a predator of "staggering arrogance." Brand denied the charges and testified the encounters were consensual; he was acquitted of several other charges, and police are investigating two further alleged rapes.
