Megyn Kelly erupted on Monday over Russell Brand being sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for rape and sexual assault, declaring the punishment an “outrage” and further evidence of what she called a “political witch hunt” against the disgraced comedian.

Speaking on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly expressed disbelief at the sentence handed down by Judge Joel Bennathan at London’s Southwark Crown Court, where Brand was found guilty last week of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

“Good Lord,” Kelly exclaimed before offering her own characterization of the offenses for which Brand was convicted.

“He grabbed a boob. He kissed a lady. He sniffed a lady, and he had backdoor sex with a woman who licked his backdoor before she was even introduced to him. He is going to prison for ten and a half years for that. This is insane.”

“This is an outrage! This is an obvious double standard,” she continued, invoking what she described as “immigrants” who came into the United Kingdom to “rape young white girls with impunity for years.”

“If you needed any further proof that this is a political witch hunt against Russell Brand, that judge just gave it to us,” Kelly declared.

Brand, who has denied the allegations against him, was convicted Thursday following a trial involving accusations from six women over incidents dating from 1999 to 2009. The jury acquitted him of two additional rape charges and one attempted indecent assault charge.

Kelly had already defended Brand following Thursday’s verdict, telling listeners that she did not believe the charges.

“I was totally charmed by him,” she said of her previous encounters with the actor, whom she described as “sweet, interesting, funny.”

“I don’t believe these charges. I’m going to be honest. I don’t,” she insisted.

Brand also remains under investigation by London’s Metropolitan Police over separate rape allegations involving two other women.
