Russell Brand found guilty of rape and sexual assault

A jury at Southwark Crown Court has convicted Russell Brand of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, clearing him of three further charges. Mr Justice Bennathan remanded Brand in custody ahead of sentencing on Monday, nine November twenty twenty-six, warning that a substantial custodial sentence is inevitable. The Metropolitan Police confirmed ongoing inquiries into two further rape allegations, while the trial has ignited intense debate over defence tactics and calls to outlaw rape myths in court. Also in this briefing: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood unveils a thirty-year settlement track for irregular refugee arrivals alongside concessions for foreign care workers, and Cambridge physicists at CERN detect evidence of an ultra-rare meson decay in the subatomic zeptoverse.
