Russell Brand Gave £3k to Grays Rape Charity After Sexual Assault
The gift was made through his management team for the charity’s 25th anniversary, years before Brand was later convicted of rape and sexual assault.
- In late 2010, Russell Brand's management team donated £3,000 to the South Essex Rape and Incest Crisis Centre in his hometown of Grays, Essex, just one year after he committed a rape in 2009.
- Earlier this month, Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months at Southwark Crown Court after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009.
- SERICC founder Sheila Coates confirmed the charity received funds from Brand's management team, not the comedian directly, describing the donation as reflecting his 'abuse of power'.
- Detectives are investigating two further rape allegations against Brand, while Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley expects additional victims to come forward following the trial.
- Coates expressed concern about 'victim blaming' and emphasized: 'We still need to do some work around the myths and facts around sexual assault' to ensure justice remains fair.
