Russell Brand Recalls Nights ‘With Prostitutes and Dad’ in Resurfaced Clip

The Daily Mail revisited memoir passages and a 2002 clip that prosecutors cited in Brand’s rape and sexual assault case.

  • On Monday, British comedian and actor Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison at Southwark Crown Court following convictions for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 1999 and 2009.
  • Footage from a 2002 series shows Russell Brand and his father, Ron Brand, discussing a trip to Hong Kong when Brand was 17, where Brand describes his father hiring prostitutes for them during the encounter.
