crime

Netflix is profiling Russell Brand in a new documentary just days after the convicted sexual predator was sentenced to prison.

The film, Russell Brand Open Secret, premiered Friday on Netflix and does not include Brand, who did not participate and is now serving a ten and a half year prison sentence.

The documentary traces allegations and rumors from the 1990s and 2000s, when Brand's reinventions helped him evade accountability. Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault and was sentenced this month. Additional rape allegations are under investigation.
