00:00Count seven shows yet again your staggering arrogance and it shows how your entourage indulged your dreadful behaviour.
00:10The whole episode reeks of casual disrespect and your belief that fame meant you could act how you liked, when
00:19you liked, unhindered by the rules by which decent people live.
00:24Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no and to demand
00:34justice from the criminal courts when sexual predators like you, Rosser Brand, act without their consent.
00:45Finally, before passing sentence, I pause to pay tribute to the determination and bravery of all the women whose evidence
00:54I have been recounting.
00:56I do not increase your punishment because of it, but all those women had to face being confronted and being
01:05told they'd lied or twisted the truth and or they'd agreed to your sexual demands.
01:11That was all done because of you on your instructions.
01:15Russell Brand's entourage came under fire from the sentencing judge after he accused them of having indulged in his predatory
01:24behaviour at the height of his fame.
01:27Evidence at Russell Brand's criminal trial revealed Brand abused his fame to obtain sex and treated women as objects, while
01:36his entourage and show business bosses faced accusations of normalising sexual misconduct and failing to act on complaints against him.
01:53I pass a sentence of imprisonment for nine months for count three, eighteen months for count five, reduced from two
02:03years to allow for totality, and eight months for count seven.
02:08Those sentences are all concurrent to one another to further allow for totality, but consecutive to the sentence for rape.
02:18The sentence I pass on count six, rape is nine years imprisonment.
02:23So the total sentence is one of ten years, six months.
02:29About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous.
02:34You were clever, and in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic.
02:39You had also become a sexual predator.
02:43Your status protected you until 2023, when journalists collected and published the allegations that were broadcast as a Channel 4
02:54documentary and in articles in the Times newspapers.
02:59That was an interesting example.
02:59The.
02:59Let's see.
