Russell Brand's management sent £3,000 to a rape crisis centre in his Essex hometown in late 2010, a year after the 2009 rape he has since been convicted of. The South Essex Rape and Incest Crisis Centre put the gift money towards its 25th anniversary party. Its founder called it an abuse of power. Brand is now serving ten and a half years in prison.
