Russell Brand is currently on trial for three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault from six different women spanning a ten-year period between 1999 and 2009. Brand, 51, has pleaded not guilty to all counts, maintaining that all of his past sexual encounters were entirely consensual. (Photo by Alishia Abodunde/Getty Images) LEON NEAL

Standing in the glass dock at Southwark Crown Court in London, awaiting his sentence for one rape and three sexual assaults to be handed down, Russell Brand was addressed directly by the judge. “No doubt your companions thought it was outrageous laddish behaviour that only you could get away with,” Justice Bennathan said, referencing an incident in which Brand had launched himself on an unknown woman in the middle of a studio corridor as his entourage looked on. “It was outrageous and possibly laddish, but also a criminal sexual offence. And as it turns out, you haven’t got away with it.”
