A prison source quoted by Radar Online said people in Brand’s position require close monitoring, particularly in the early stages of imprisonment. The source cited the length of the sentence, public scrutiny and the unfamiliar prison environment as potential sources of psychological pressure, and said authorities were assessing concerns about his mental health and personal safety. The outlet also reported that Brand had received death threats.
Brand was found guilty on November 5 of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced on November 9 and is being held at HMP Wandsworth in South London. The rape conviction relates to an incident in 2009; he received a two-year sentence, with an additional two years for removing a condom without the woman’s consent. The three sexual assault charges concern incidents between 2004 and 2009. He was acquitted of two other rape counts and one count of attempted indecent assault.
The article also revisits comments by Brand’s former wife, singer Katy Perry. They married in India in 2010, and their marriage lasted 14 months. Perry told Vogue in 2013 that Brand did not like her being “the boss” while she was on tour, describing his behavior as controlling and upsetting. She has also said she learned the marriage was over through a text message from him. Brand married Laura Brand in October 2017.
