After Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault in London’s Southwark Crown Court, the prosecution confirmed why the comedian’s 14-month marriage to Katy Perry in 2010 was not part of their opening arguments. “The prosecution recognize that matters post 2009 involving his relationship with Katy Perry may be sensitive,” lead prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC said in a pre-trial submissions statement, per The Telegraph, “as may his previous faiths, and we are content to remove these from the opening.” Similarly, Perry—now mom to a 6-year-old daughter with ex Orlando Bloom—was not asked to provide any kind of witness statement during the police investigation into Brand. While the "Teenage Dream" singer was not involved in the investigation or trial—which included allegations of events that occurred between 2004 and 2009, the same year Brand and Perry started dating—in any way, Brand briefly mentioned their relationship in his court testimony, sharing how he achieved “staggering fame” at that time in his life.
