CloseRussell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison, after being convicted of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

In his sentencing remarks, judge Joel Bennathan said Brand harboured a "casual arrogant disregard to any woman's right to say no to you".

The 51-year-old was sentenced on Monday to nine years for rape, with an additional 18 months, nine months and eight months for sexual assault.

The former comedian was found guilty by a jury last week of the charges involving four women between 2004 and 2009.

Senior UK correspondent Sima Kotecha was inside the Southwark Crown Court during the sentencing.
