The head of the Metropolitan Police said on Friday that he would not be surprised if more alleged victims came forward.

British comedian and actor Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others in incidents dating back around two decades.

Brand, once one of Britain’s most prominent broadcasters and a Hollywood star, was convicted on Thursday of rape and three counts of sexual assault relating to incidents between 2004 and 2009. He had denied all the charges.

The 51-year-old appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court, where Judge Joel Bennathan handed down the sentence. Brand will serve two-thirds of his sentence in custody before being released on licence.

During sentencing, Judge Bennathan described Brand as a sexual predator who believed his fame allowed him to behave without regard for the rules followed by others.

Brand mouthed “I love you” to his wife before court officers escorted him from the dock to the cells.

Victim Describes Lasting Trauma

One of Brand’s victims, who was raped by him in 2009, described the lasting psychological impact of the attack in a statement read by prosecutors.

She said the trauma was something she carried every day and that it often felt never-ending.

Brand’s lawyer, Ian Winter, told the court that his client was now a fundamentally different person and had been for a long time.

Brand has previously spoken publicly about his recovery from alcohol and drug addiction and his Christian faith.

Police Investigating Further Allegations

The Metropolitan Police has said Brand remains under investigation over two other alleged rapes, including one involving a girl who was 16 at the time.

The head of the Metropolitan Police said on Friday that he would not be surprised if more alleged victims came forward.

Brand, who was previously married to American pop singer Katy Perry, became widely known through his broadcasting career and appearances in Hollywood films, including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek and Arthur.

In recent years, he moved away from mainstream entertainment and developed an online following.

Although convicted of rape and sexual assault in the latest case, Brand was acquitted of two other rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault.
