British actor and comedian Russell Brand is facing years in jail after the Southwark Crown Court today found the 51-year-old comedian and actor guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others to feed his ‘voracious’ and violent lust.
Brand, a born again Christian, closed his eyes as he was convicted of raping a 21-year-old fan he picked out of the crowd after one of his gigs at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in 2009.
Brand, then 33, pushed the woman face down into a pillow on his ‘enormous’ bed and removed his condom while raping her at his $3.1 million, [£2.3million], mansion in Hampstead, an upscale section of North London, leaving her struggling to breathe.
The victim said she was left bleeding from her anus and afterwards said Brand ordered her to ‘clean up the mess you’ve made’ before switching on the TV to watch the science-fiction series Quantum Leap.
According to the complainant, she tried to clear up before being ushered out by a member of staff. A driver then handed her tissues as he took her home.
In the aftermath, fearing she had contracted HIV, she underwent tests. The tests came back negative.
Victims had testified that Brand forced them into sexual acts, sometimes within seconds of their first meeting, as he exploited his fame in pursuit of an avowed goal of sleeping with 5,000 women.
With the initial trial concluded, today it was revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service will bring further charges.against Brand, as he has also been accused of raping two more women, including a 16-year-old schoolgirl.

Brand’s 39-year-old wife Laura Gallacher, with whom he shares two daughters and son, aged nine, eight and three, had supported her husband throughout the trial. At sentencing on Thursday she was observed sitting head in her hands, crying in the public gallery as Brand was found guilty on multiple counts of sexual assault. 
After eight and a half hours of deliberations, jurors convicted Brand of sexually assaulting an MTV worker at a party in a Soho bar in 2004, but cleared him of orally raping her in a toilet afterwards.
The jury also found Brand, a born-again Christian who said he wore the ‘full armor of God’ in court, guilty of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005.

At Southwark Crown Court on Thursday, he was further convicted of sexually assaulting a Channel 4 employee during a forced massage in 2009.
The jury however acquitted the defendant on two counts of rape and one charge of attempted indecent assault.
Before the jury returned its verdicts, Brand looked at his wife Laura Gallacher who was crying in the public gallery and said: ‘Laura, I love you.’
Sentencing scheduled for Monday November 9.
After the verdict was read out, the new convict was remanded into custody, after being denied a request to say goodbye to his family. 
‘I regret the hardship caused to the children, of course,’ Justice Bennathan responded to the defense request for bail over the weekend so Brand could explain the convictions to his three young children.
The convict ‘has considerable resources’, said the judge, adding that: ‘Whatever the good intentions of the family and the defendant today, I think there are substantial grounds to fear he might, in the end, not feel able to come along and face his sentence.’
Gesturing to his team Brand repeated: ‘I’m good, I’m good, I’m good’, before being led from the dock.

Brand according to court documents preyed on women he encountered as climbed the ranks becoming one of Britain’s best-known stand-up comedians, a lauded TV and radio host, and a Hollywood actor.
Charged with sexually assaulting multiple women, the rand had denied all the charges against him. Ultimately he was cleared of two rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault following the month-long trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Following the verdicts, Justice Bennathan admonished: ‘You’ve been convicted of a number of offenses including rape.
‘The consequence of that is inevitably a significant custodial term. My current view is that I therefore have to remand you into custody.’
Following his convictions, it can now be revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service is seeking to bring charges in relation to a 16-year-old girl Brand is accused of sexually assaulting after grooming the virgin when he was aged 30.

He ‘claimed to have felt the ‘presence of God’ in the courtroom, on his Christian podcast which he continued to record while standing trial for rape and sexual assault – Prosecutor.

David Roberts, Senior Crown Prosecutor in the London Rape and Serious Sexual Assault Unit, said: ‘Russell Brand was predatory and used his celebrity status to commit sexual crimes. He was a manipulator with an insatiable desire to get what he wanted regardless of whether consent was given or not.
‘As his career took off, he seized opportunities to assault the women around him. Although his tactics varied, at the center of every assault was an abuse of power and sexual greed, with a complete disregard for the impact of his actions.
Following the indictment two other women since have come forward to accuse Brand of sexual abuse prior to the trial, but the Crown Prosecution Service reportedly, limited the case to six victims.
Now prosecutors are considering whether to pursue further charges which would result in a second trial.
Detectives believe that his conviction will be a ‘watershed moment’, giving women confidence to come forward.
Brand is already facing civil claims for alleged sexual assaults in Britain and America.

‘Russell Brand claimed to have felt the ‘presence of God’ in the courtroom, on his Christian podcast which he continued to record while standing trial for rape and sexual assault.

Brand told reporters repeatedly that he was ‘blessed’ as he arrived at Southwark Crown Court each morning to face the charges.
He and his wife prayed for those involved in the case. 
He carried symbols of his Christian faith – a Bible complete with dozens of colorful tabs and a silver cross clasped tightly in his hands during the prosecution’s opening address as he stood trial on allegations preceding his Christian conversion.
While the trial lasted Brand and Laura continued to record their Sunday Service podcasts, detailing their thoughts on faith and the justice process, telling his millions of followers on YouTube, Rumble, and X that he had felt God’s presence in court with him.
