- Her statement followed Brand being sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison at Southwark Crown Court for raping a fan and sexually assaulting three women.
- Ms Goldsmith praised the victims who testified in the trial and revealed that she had assisted journalists investigating Brand's conduct for several years.
- She said that she chose not to press charges over the 2014 incident “as I was worried about the impact of the press attention on my then teenage children”.
- Ms Goldsmith said that she had not seen or spoken to Brand since the 2014 incident, calling it “a difficult period in my life which has had a lasting impact”.
