Russell Brand is facing years in jail today after being found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others to feed his 'voracious' and violent lust.

The comedian and actor, 51, closed his eyes as he was convicted of raping a 21-year-old fan he picked out of the crowd after one of his Hammersmith Apollo gigs in 2009.

Brand, then 33, pushed the woman face down into a pillow on his 'enormous' bed and removed his condom while raping her at his £2.3million Hampstead mansion, leaving her struggling to breathe.

She was left bleeding from her anus and afterwards said Brand ordered her to 'clean up the mess you've made' before switching on the TV to watch the science-fiction series Quantum Leap.

The woman tried to clear up before being ushered out by a member of staff. A driver then handed her tissues as he took her home. Fearing she had contracted HIV, she underwent tests, which came back negative.

It can today be revealed that Brand has also been accused of raping two more women, including a 16-year-old schoolgirl, with the Crown Prosecution Service seeking to bring further charges.

His wife, Laura Gallacher, who had supported him throughout the four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, sat crying and put her head in her hands as the four guilty verdicts were returned. He was cleared of three more.

Brand's victims told the court how he forced them into sexual activity, sometimes within seconds of first meeting them, while exploiting his fame in pursuit of a goal of sleeping with 5,000 women.

After eight-and-a-half hours of deliberations, jurors convicted him of the 2009 rape and sexual assault of an MTV worker at a party in a Soho bar in 2004. But they cleared him of orally raping her in a toilet afterwards.

They also found Brand, a born-again Christian who said he wore the 'full armour of God' in court, guilty of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005.

At court today he was further convicted of sexually assaulting a Channel 4 employee during a forced massage in 2009. He was cleared of two charges of rape and one of attempted indecent assault.

Ms Gallacher cried and held hands with an aide in the public gallery. Before the jury returned its verdicts, Brand looked at his wife and said: 'Laura, I love you.'

He loudly replied: 'Yes, my Lord,' when he was remanded into custody. He will be sentenced on Monday at Southwark Crown Court after being denied the chance to say goodbye to his children and wife. 

Mr Justice Bennathan said: 'I regret the hardship caused to the children, of course,' after being told Brand wanted bail over the weekend so he could explain the convictions to his two daughters and son, aged nine, eight and three.

But the judge said Brand 'has considerable resources', adding: 'Whatever the good intentions of the family and the defendant today, I think there are substantial grounds to fear he might, in the end, not feel able to come along and face his sentence.'
