Russell Brand has been convicted of rape and sexual assault charges on allegations dating back more than 20 years. A judge announced Thursday that Brand would receive a prison sentence. A prosecutor described him as a ruthless, calculating, manipulative “sexual predator.” Brand, 51, denied the charges and testified that he was obsessed with sex as a young man and once led a promiscuous life but had never forced anyone to do something against their will. Brand was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was acquitted of two rape counts and attempted indecent assault.
