"You are intelligent and, in the eyes of many people, funny and charismatic. But you also became a sexual predator." With these remarks, Judge Joel Bennathan opens his sentence condemning comedian Russell Brand to ten and a half years in prison for a crime of rape and three sexual assaults. It was already known that he was considered guilty since last week, but the sentence remained to be determined, which finally entails this decade of incarceration. Brand received the verdict without showing apparent emotions: he told his wife that everything would be fine and was escorted out of the London court by the police. The judge has considered him innocent of two other charges, also of a sexual nature, for which he was accused.
