Justice, accountability, more questions: what Russell Brand’s guilty verdict means for victim-survivors

Resumen detallado

Is it really justice when the legal process is itself so often the source of further harm?

British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, related to multiple victims, after a four-week trial in London.

The offences for which Brand was convicted occurred nearly two decades ago.

Meanwhile, United Kingdom police are investigating further allegations of rape made by two other women.

For the six women who came forward to report their experiences, the verdict marks the culmination of a long and undoubtedly difficult journey through the criminal legal system.
