Al Jazeera reports that London's Southwark Crown Court sentenced Russell Brand to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault, after a jury convicted him of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009 while clearing him of three other counts. Brand asserts his innocence and denies non-consensual sex; his victims described lasting trauma, and London's Metropolitan Police says he remains under investigation for two other alleged rapes.
