Russell Brand set for sentencing in sexual assault case

Former comedian Russell Brand is expected to be sentenced today, Sunday, following his conviction last week on charges of rape and sexual assault. As reported by the Guardian and CNN, the proceedings were briefly delayed as court staff worked to reconfigure the courtroom to ensure the protection of a victim who is scheduled to deliver a victim impact statement live. Brand has been warned that he faces a significant prison term. Further details regarding the sentencing or the courtroom proceedings have not yet been released.
