Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History removed it following Brand’s conviction for rape and sexual assault. The unusual object has been on show since 2016 in the Hackney museum’s ‘human hair’ department, which also contains specimens from Elvis Presley. Brand’s pubic hair was allegedly donated to the museum by a woman who claimed to have shaved the former TV presenter at a salon in Camden. She handed it with a handwritten letter expressing hope that the museum would appreciate the memento. Museum owner Viktor Wynd said he tore the clump ‘straight off display’ after Brand became mired in scandal. Brand was sentenced on Monday to 10 years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault offences (Picture: AFP) He told Variety he had ‘no wish’ to hear Brand’s name again. ‘He has no place in my museum of horrors’, Wynd added. Brand was sentenced on Monday at Southwark Crown Court for several offences between 2004 and 2009 against four women. He denied the charges. He was found guilty of anally raping a woman in 2009; sexually assaulting a woman at a radio station in 2004 or 2005; sexually assaulting a third woman at a bar in 2004; and sexually assaulting a fourth woman by placing his head in her groin area. Brand was cleared of two further charges of rape and one allegation of attempted indecent assault. The YouTuber, Judge Joel Bennathan said, was ‘a sexual predator’ with ‘casual, arrogant disregard of any woman’s right to say “no” to you’.
