Russell Brand trial judge: 'You had also become a sexual predator'

Russell Brand, the disgraced comedian, has been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. That was after he was convicted of rape and three counts of sexual assault. When the judge was reading the sentence, he talked about how Brand had become a sexual predator. He described his behavior as staggeringly arrogant and said that his entourage had essentially indulged him. About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming... Famous. You were clever and, in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic. You had also become asexual. When the judge was trying to figure out just how stiff of a sentence Brand should serve, he said that one of the aggravating factors was the fact that Brand had humiliated his victims. In fact, in the case of the rape, he had ordered the woman to clean up the bedsheets afterwards. Brand's lawyer had argued that the comedian had reformed, that his behavior had changed, he had found God and is a father of children. But the judge said, well, he considered these things. He needed to sentence Brand to ten and a half years. in prison because of the seriousness of the crimes and we do know from police that there are two other investigations going on regarding rape allegations made against Brand and because of the trial, the publicity around it and the sentencing, police officials do believe that more victims could come forward.
