British comedian and former television star Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of rape and three sexual assaults involving four women between 2004 and 2009.
Sentencing the 51-year-old at London’s Southwark Crown Court, Judge Joel Bennathan described him as a “sexual predator” who exploited his celebrity status to abuse women with staggering arrogance and contempt for his victims.

Readers will remember that the same scenario was used in an ultimately unsuccessful vendetta against Wikileaks whistleblower Julian Assange.
Why this scenario? Beause in a situation where there is no evidence other than anecdotal claims, the odds favour the prosecution, provided the alleged ‘victims’ are good enough actresses. That the allegations went back over 15 years makes the motivation plain. How much were these actresses bribed by the Deep State?
There’s nothing new about it all. Some readers will remember that back in 1967 the Establishment decided it didn’t like the Rolling Stones band and raided Keith Richards’ mansion where they found Mick Jagger had 4 methamphetimine pills (in those days known as speed) he had legally bought in Italy. The constabulary arrested both Mick Jagger for consuming drugs — and Keith Richards for allowing his house to be used as a drug den(!). Fortunately, the editor of The Times came to their rescue in an editorial which slammed the police. Both Jagger and Richards were released.
