Russell Brand is off to jail for a very long time. 

The once powerful comedian turned Christian influencer has been sentenced to ten years and six months for the rape of one woman, and the sexual assault of three others.

It all happened at the peak of his career – when Brand was able to use his power and fame to prey on women and get away with it.

Now he’s finally been brought to justice 

Today, host of the BBC’s ‘Fame under Fire’ podcast, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty on how Brand was able to hide in plain sight, the trial that finally exposed him, and why the reckoning may not be finished just yet.
