Russell Brand found guilty of rape and sexual assault

British comedian and actor Russell Brand was found guilty/not guilty of several charges of rape and sexual assault by a London court.

Channel 4 News

What the coverage shows

All three outlets lead on Russell Brand being found guilty of rape and sexual assault, with CBS News and the New York Times using that formulation and France 24 adding “British comedian” in its headline. France 24 is the only outlet whose extract specifies the counts as one rape and three sexual assaults, while CBS News lists the charges he had faced, and the New York Times alone highlights the judge’s warning that sentencing would mean “significant custodial time.”
