Russell Brand will learn his fate on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, when he is sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London following his conviction last week on charges of rape and sexual assault.

A jury convicted Brand, 51, on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. The offences related to incidents between 2004 and 2009, and six women made allegations.

Judge Mr Justice Joel Bennathan remanded Brand into custody immediately after the verdict and refused bail. The defence had sought weekend bail so Brand could say goodbye to his children. The judge told Brand to expect a “significant custodial term” — a “custodial sentence of some length.”

Victim impact statements are expected to be heard before the judge sets the term on Monday.

Legal experts expect a lengthy sentence. Barrister Eleanor Laws KC, speaking on “The Trial” podcast, said rape sentencing guidelines carry starting points of four to 19 years and the term could be at least 10 years. Solicitor Kally Sahota estimated eight to nine years, while Bar Council chair Kirsty Brimelow put the rape range at roughly six to nine years.

Rape carries a maximum of life imprisonment in England and Wales. Each sexual assault count carries up to 10 years.

Brand spent Thursday night in HMP Wandsworth and remains in custody. Police are still investigating further allegations made by two other women.

His lawyers had his marriage to Katy Perry kept out of the trial; details became public after reporting restrictions were lifted following the verdict.
