LONDON (AP) — Russell Brand, the risqué comic who bragged for years of his sexual exploits, was convicted Thursday of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others on allegations dating back years.
The British actor-comedian faces a “significant” prison term when he is sentenced Monday, Judge Joel Bennathan said.
Brand had been free, but he was taken into custody after the judge rejected a bail request to let him see his kids because of the possibility he might flee.
