Russell Brand's Wife Laura Arrives at Court as He Faces Years in Jail

Friends say Laura Gallacher remained convinced Russell Brand was innocent as he faces sentencing after being convicted of rape and sexual assault against four women.

  • Former comedian Russell Brand appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday for sentencing after being convicted of raping a 21-year-old woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009.
  • Throughout the trial, wife Laura Gallacher remained fiercely loyal, viewing the split verdict as proof of innocence despite the jury's conviction on four counts.
  • The Gallacher family, including sister Kirsty Gallacher, is 'rallying around' Laura amid concerns that Brand exerted a 'brainwashed' level of influence during their nine-year marriage.
  • After Brand was jailed at HMP Wandsworth, Laura returned to their home near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, though friends note it is 'too soon' to determine what happens next.
  • Brand faces further scrutiny as Metropolitan Police investigate additional rape allegations involving a 16-year-old girl, while his 6.6 million-subscriber YouTube channel remains under scrutiny.
