Russell Brand is due back at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, November 9, to be sentenced after a jury found him guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others during his career in showbusiness.
The former comedian and actor, 51, was convicted of raping a woman in 2009 and of sexually assaulting three female television and radio workers between 2004 and 2009.
Custody Before Sentencing
After the guilty verdicts were delivered on Thursday afternoon, Mr Justice Bennathan ordered that Brand be remanded in custody immediately. He will remain in custody until the sentencing hearing concludes.
The judge is expected to pass sentence on Monday, having told Brand to expect a "significant" prison term following the jury's decision.
Court Proceedings and Victim Statements
During the hearing, the court is expected to hear victim impact statements from the women involved, alongside legal submissions from both sides, before the judge delivers the sentence.
Brand's wife, Laura Gallacher, was seen leaving court in tears after the verdicts were read. The defendant was seen mouthing the words "I'm OK" to his lawyers before being led down to the cells.
