跟进：Russell Brand被判监禁10年6个月：强奸罪9年，另涉两名女性指控仍在调查

位于英国伦敦的 Southwark 刑事法庭11月9日判处英国演员兼喜剧演员 Russell Brand 监禁10年6个月。现年51岁的 Brand 上周四（11月5日）被陪审团裁定一项强奸罪与三项性侵罪罪名成立，案件涉及2004年至2009年间的四名女性。

法官 Joel Bennathan 量刑如下：强奸罪判监禁9年；三项性侵罪分别判9个月、18个月与8个月，三项刑期彼此同期执行、与强奸罪刑期接续执行，总刑期10年6个月。Brand 须服满刑期的三分之二后，才有资格获假释许可释放。法官在量刑时考虑了其无前科、距最后一次犯罪已17年等因素，将强奸罪刑期减少一年。

陪审团同时裁定，Brand 另涉的两项强奸指控与一项猥亵未遂指控不成立。本案指控源于四周的审理：检方指 Brand 强奸一名在2009年 Hammersmith Apollo 演出后结识的女性，并在2004年至2009年间性侵多名电视与电台行业女性工作者。Brand 此前对全部指控不认罪。

伦敦警察厅表示，调查仍在进行，另有两名女性提出的强奸指控正在调查中。Brand 在裁决后已被还押候审，周末在 Wandsworth 监狱度过，9日听判后即开始服刑。

法官 Joel Bennathan 在量刑意见中说，Brand 在约 20 年前正开始成名时成为一名「性掠夺者」，对女性说「不」的权利表现出「随意的、傲慢的无视」，并指出媒体对相关指控的报道使多名女性有勇气站出来。检方此前在量刑陈述中按一级量刑提出，强奸罪量刑起点为 12 年、区间为 10 至 15 年，并为三项性侵各求刑 1 至 4 年。

四项定罪包括：2004 年在伦敦 Soho 一家酒吧的派对上猥亵一名 MTV 工作人员；2005 年在 Capital Radio 录音室性侵一名 Choice FM 工作人员；2009 年性侵一名与他共事的 Channel 4 工作人员；以及 2009 年在 Hammersmith Apollo 的演出后结识一名 21 岁女粉丝，数日后将其强奸。量刑听证上，受害人影响陈述被在庭上读出，2009 年被强奸的女性在陈述中说：「我带着创伤生活，那是我每天都要背负的东西。」辩方律师 Ian Winter 说，Brand 的妻子劳拉对裁决感到「彻底崩溃」，两人正在考虑如何向他们 10 岁的孩子解释发生的事情。

伦敦警察厅表示，另两名女性的强奸指控档案均已提交皇家检察署，其中一名指控者称，她与 Brand 交往时年仅 16 岁、Brand 当时 30 岁。负责调查的警司 Andy Furphy 表示，这次裁决首先归功于站出来报案的女性们的非凡勇气，Brand 利用自己的影响力、地位和名气对女性实施性犯罪，「我希望这次定罪发出一个明确信息：无论多有名、多有权力，没有人可以凌驾于法律之上」。警察厅总监 Mark Rowley 表示，警方已做好准备，预计还可能有更多受害人站出来。

宣判前，特斯拉首席执行官马斯克（Elon Musk）在社交平台 X 上转发一幅把 Brand 可能面临的刑期与另一名已被定罪者刑期作对比的图，并评论称「不公」（Unjust）。据 Page Six 报道，这一表态发表于法官宣读刑期之前。强奸罪在英国最高可判终身监禁；截至发稿，Brand 一方尚未公布是否就量刑提出上诉。

Russell Brand Sentenced to 10 Years and Six Months in Prison for Rape and Sexual Assault

Russell Brand, the British actor and comedian, was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London on November 9 to 10 years and six months in prison. A jury last Thursday, November 5, convicted the 51-year-old of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, involving four women between 2004 and 2009.

Mr Justice Joel Bennathan imposed nine years for the rape count. The three sexual assault counts drew nine months, 18 months and eight months, to run concurrently with one another and consecutively to the rape sentence, for a total of 10 years and six months. Brand must serve two thirds of the sentence before he is eligible for release on licence. The judge reduced the rape sentence by a year, citing Brand's lack of previous convictions and the 17 years since his last offence.

The jury acquitted Brand of two other counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault. The four-week trial heard that Brand raped a woman he met at a 2009 stand-up show at the Hammersmith Apollo and sexually assaulted female television and radio workers between 2004 and 2009. Brand had pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The Metropolitan Police said the investigation is ongoing and that allegations of rape by two more women are being investigated. Brand was remanded in custody after the verdict, spent the weekend at HMP Wandsworth, and begins his sentence immediately.

In his sentencing remarks, Mr Justice Bennathan said Brand had become a "sexual predator" about 20 years ago, as he was starting to become famous, and showed a "casual, arrogant disregard of any woman's right to say no to you." He added that media reporting of the allegations had empowered a number of women to come forward. Prosecutors had argued for a category one sentence for the rape conviction, with a starting point of 12 years and a range of 10 to 15 years, and had sought one to four years for each of the three sexual assaults.

The four convictions were: groping an MTV worker during a party at a Soho bar in 2004; sexually assaulting a Choice FM worker at the Capital Radio studios in 2005; sexually assaulting a Channel 4 worker who worked with him in 2009; and raping a 21-year-old fan days after meeting her at his 2009 stand-up show at the Hammersmith Apollo. Victim impact statements were read out at the sentencing hearing. The woman raped by Brand in 2009 said in her statement: "I am living with trauma and something I carry every day." Ian Winter KC, for the defence, said Brand's wife Laura was "totally devastated" by the verdicts and that the couple were working out how to explain what had happened to their 10-year-old child.

The Metropolitan Police said files on rape allegations made by two further women have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service; one of the women says she was 16 when she dated Brand, who was then 30. Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, who led the investigation, said the outcome was first and foremost a testament to the extraordinary courage of the women who came forward, that Brand had used his influence, status and fame to sexually offend against women, and: "I hope this conviction sends a clear message that no one is above the law, no matter how famous or powerful they may be." Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said his officers were braced for the possibility that many more victims could come forward.

Before the sentence was delivered, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk reposted on X a graphic comparing the prison term Brand could face with the sentence given to another convicted man, and commented: "Unjust." According to Page Six, the post came before the judge delivered the sentence. Rape carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in England and Wales. As of publication, Brand's side had not announced whether he would appeal against the sentence.
