Russell Brand will be sentenced on his rape and sexual assault convictions in the coming hours.

The 51-year-old has been held in custody since his guilty verdicts in a London court on Friday.

Police are investigating two additional allegations of rape against the comedian.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says it's likely more victims will come forward, and there'll be more developments in this case.
