Russell Brand has been jailed for 10-and-a-half years after a conviction involving rape and three sexual offences, it emerged on Monday, November 9.
The 51-year-old was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court for abusing four women.
Brand was convicted of raping a fan in 2009 when she was 21, at his luxury home in London.
He was also found guilty of sexually assaulting three female employees from Channel 4, MTV and Capital Radio.
During sentencing, Mr Justice Bennathan criticised Brand’s arrogance and said that the comedian, actor and television presenter had become a sexual predator as his public profile grew.
The judge recalled that Brand had been known for cleverness, humour and charisma as his fame increased, while also warning of the harm he caused.
Perry, 41, attended the Blenheim Palace Festival in Oxfordshire in July for a Woodstock show at Blenheim Palace.
While discussing former relationships, the American singer made a remark suggesting that an ex-partner ought to be imprisoned.
Audience members in the Grand Court reacted with gasps and laughter.
Although Perry did not identify Brand, the remark was widely understood to concern her former husband.
The two married in 2010 and divorced in 2012.
The Oxford Mail was unable to publish the earlier account because Brand was then awaiting trial on seven charges comprising three counts of rape, one of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault.
Jurors were also prevented from hearing about his marriage to Perry after prosecutors sought to introduce the relationship.
National reports subsequently indicated that Perry had received several offers to recount her marriage but delayed finalising any arrangement until Brand’s trial had concluded.
An unnamed source said she and her representatives were considering an autobiography and a Netflix-style series, with active discussions under way.
The source claimed that the marriage remained largely undisclosed and had been a particularly dark period in her life.
