A British jury has convicted comedian and actor Russell Brand of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
The defendant was being tried at London’s Southwark Crown Court. The jury deliberated for two days after the trial. Though the jurors returned a guilty verdict on Thursday, they acquitted Brand of two other rapes and an attempted indecent assault.
