Laura Brand leaves court after husband Russell Brand jailed for rape and sexual assault

Laura Brand was filmed leaving Southwark Crown Court on Monday (9 November) after her husband, disgraced comedian Russell Brand, was jailed for more than 10 years after being convicted of raping one of his fans and sexually assaulting three other women.

Brand, now 51, was found guilty of raping a woman in 2009, as well as sexually assaulting female TV and radio workers between 2004 and 2009.

His wife was seated just a few feet away from the shamed comedian in the glass-walled dock. She has vowed to stand by her husband.

The shamed star displayed no emotion as he was told his punishment, and he told his wife, “We’ll be OK”, as he was being led away to the cells.
