Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of one rape and three sexual assaults involving four women.

The convictions followed a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, according to reporting by The Guardian and BBC News. The case involved allegations against Brand that resulted in convictions for offences involving four women.

PBS NewsHour reports that a jury found Brand guilty of attacking four of six accusers, with allegations dating back to 2004. The supplied reports do not provide the formal legal wording of each conviction or the full sentencing order.

The sentencing proceedings also included victim-impact statements from survivors, according to Rolling Stone. The statements formed part of the proceedings in which the prison sentence was imposed.

The reports place the case in a British and United Kingdom court context: BBC News identifies Southwark Crown Court, while The New Indian Express describes the sentence as being served in a British prison. An explicit statement from the court or another official source confirming the sentence was not included in the supplied material.
