Russell Brand has been handed a prison sentence totaling 10 years and six months following his conviction for rape and multiple counts of sexual assault. During the sentencing, Judge Joel Bennathan criticized Brand’s attitude, stating that he exhibited a “casual arrogant disregard to any woman’s right to say no to you.”
