Russell Brand Charged With Rape, Sexual Assault in U.K.

by

In London, comedian Russell Brand is being charged with several offenses related to rape and assault involving four different women from 1999 to 2005. According to the BBC, these charges include one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault. These charges come after a September 2023 report in which four women accused him of sexual assault, including one who was only 16 at the time of the alleged crime. However, those incidents that allegedly took place between 2006 and 2013 do not seem to be connected to the current charges against Brand. In response to a separate allegation from 2003, police confirmed an investigation shortly after the September report was published. At that time, Brand denied all accusations, stating that while he had been highly promiscuous during that era, his sexual relationships were always consensual.

The brand hasn’t responded to the recent accusations yet. He is scheduled for a court appearance in London on May 2, but authorities suspect he might be residing in the United States at present. Previous reports from The Times indicated that he relocated to Florida last fall. On Rumble, he stated earlier this year that he left the U.K. due to his personal experience with the media, government, and judiciary attempting to undermine him when they found him inconvenient. If Brand refuses to comply with the London Metropolitan Police, British officials may have to seek his extradition from the U.S., though complications could arise due to his affiliation with and friendly ties with former President Donald Trump.
