"The sentence I pass on count six, rape, is nine years imprisonment," the judge tells in courtroom footage carried by FOX 5 New York.

That is one part of the sentence, not the full term. The judge then states the total: ten years and six months in prison. The broadcaster reports that a London jury convicted the actor and comedian of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

The short report moves from a newsroom introduction and footage of Brand arriving at court to the judge delivering the sentences across individual counts. The courtroom excerpt closes with a direct instruction to Brand: "Would you go with the officers, please." The anchor then returns to summarize the case.

The upload reached roughly 26,000 views in thirteen hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.
