Russell Brand's confession about 'game' he used to play as a youngster
A little less than a week after British comedian Russell Brand was found guilty of rape and sexual assault, it has emerged that he has been a sexual predator since he was a teen, confessing that he played a game called "genital grabbing" at school.
The disturbing admission was made in his first memoir titled My Booky Wook, in which Brand explained that he would grope his fellow students over their clothes.
The 51-year-old wrote: “No one was safe from me… every female was a potential target.”
He also noted that years later the game turned into what he called the "knobstacle course", a challenge he set himself to get as many women as possible to have sex with him.
Clips showing Brand's character have blown up online
The revelation about Brand's younger years is just one of many difficult truths about the convicted rapist's past that have come to light in the days since the jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault on November 9.
One example of his questionable behavior is a clip of the now-disgraced comedian pulling out an “obey” card to show his former wife, Katy Perry, while they were having a disagreement during a red carpet interview.
When Brand is asked about his thoughts on the 2010 Oscars, Perry chimes in and says: “You didn’t watch it.” Brand then brusquely quips: “I did watch the Oscars” before pulling out a small black sign that reads “OBEY”.
Perry glances at the sign before falling quiet.
Brand is expected to receive a 'lengthy' prison sentence today
While he has been held in custody at HMP Wandsworth awaiting his sentencing today, he was told by a judge on the last day of his trial that he should expect a lengthy prison sentence.
Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, which span 10 years from 1999, Brand was found guilty on four counts.
They included raping a woman at his house in London and sexually assaulting three different women at their workplaces at a radio station and a TV studio.
Speaking on the last day of the trial, Justice Bennathan said: "You’ve been convicted of a number of offences, including one of rape.
"The consequence of that is inevitably a significant custodial term.
"My current view is that I have to therefore remand you in custody.”
The defense asked for Brand to be granted an "act of humanity" by being allowed to return home this weekend to say goodbye to his children, but the judge refused and ordered him to be incarcerated immediately.
