Following a four-week trial, Brand, 51, was convicted on Thursday of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009. The judge told him he should expect a "significant custodial term" and remanded him in custody, refusing a bail application from Brand's lawyers.

Which charges was Brand found guilty of?
A jury found Brand guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault after deliberating for eight and a half hours. He was cleared of two further counts of rape and one charge of attempted indecent assault.
The offences for which Brand was convicted were:
- Raping a 21-year-old woman after meeting her at a stand-up show at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009
- Kissing and groping a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005
- Sexually assaulting a Channel 4 worker when she was forced to give him a massage in 2009
- Groping an MTV worker during a party at a Soho bar in 2004.
Brand was acquitted of raping the MTV worker in a toilet during the same incident.
The jury also cleared Brand of raping a woman he met at a cabaret show on the fringes of the 1999 Labour Party conference in Bournemouth.
He was also found not guilty of attempting to drag another MTV worker into a toilet to indecently assault her in 2001.
