First son Donald Trump Jr. has taken up the cause of Russell Brand, insisting the British comedian’s 10-year, six-month prison sentence for rape and sexual assault has less to do with his crimes than his recent turn to God and the right.

Brand, 51, was sentenced Monday at London’s Southwark Crown Court. A jury had convicted him Nov. 5 of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
