'I LOVE YOU': R**e Convict Russell Brand's Emotional Message to Wife After 10.5 Years Jail Sentence
Russell Brand’s emotional courtroom exchange with his wife Laura has emerged following the comedian’s sentencing to 10 years and six months in prison for r**e and s**ual assault. According to Page Six, Laura told Brand, “I love you, I’ll be OK,” moments after the judge delivered the sentence. Brand reportedly responded with five words of his own: “We’ll be OK.” Laura was said to be shaking and repeatedly muttering “it’s OK” as two friends helped her leave the courtroom. Brand’s defence lawyer had appealed for leniency, arguing that his wife and three children were innocent and would be devastated by his imprisonment. However, the judge handed Brand a decade-long sentence for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009.
