Jeff Spicer/Getty Russell Brand has pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges in London The comedian and actor appeared at Southwark Crown Court in London at 10.30 a.m. local time on Friday, May 30 Brand was charged by London's Metropolitan Police on April 4, after four women came forward to allege that he sexually assaulted them in England between 1999 and 2005 Russell Brandhas pleaded not guilty tocharges of rape and sexual assault. Brand, 49, was arraigned at Southwark Crown Court in London at 10.30 a.m. local time on Friday, May 30, wearing dark sunglasses, a grey suit and an unbuttoned shirt. The comedian and actor spoke to confirm his name, then entered a plea of "not guilty" to one charge of rape, one of oral rape and three counts of sexual assault. At the close of the 10-minute hearing, Brand was bailed ahead of a trial starting June 3, 2026, that's expected to last up to 5 weeks. Jeff Spicer/Getty The hearing comes after Brand appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Friday, May 2, where he wasgranted bailby Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring. Brand was first charged by London's Metropolitan Police on April 4, after four women came forward to allege that he sexually assaulted them in England between 1999 and 2005. One of his accusers claims she was raped by Brand in southern England in 1999. A second accuser claims that he sexually assaulted and orally raped her at an address in London in 2004. "The women who have made reports continue to receive support from specially trained officers," said Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, said at the time. "The Met's investigation remains open and detectives ask anyone who has been affected by this case, or anyone who has any information, to come forward and speak with police." Jeff Spicer/Getty The accusations follwed a 2023 joint investigation by U.K, newspapersThe Sunday Times andThe Timesand Channel 4 current affairs showDispatches, which focused on the claims of five women over events that took place between 2006 and 2013 — including one woman who was 16 years old at the time of the alleged incident. "I've received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks," Brand posted on social media ahead of the story's release. "But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute." If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or go torainn.org. Read the original article onPeople
Comedian Russell Brand denies rape and sex assault charges in UK court
LONDON (Reuters) -British actor and comedian Russell Brand pleaded not guilty in a London court on Friday to charges of rape and sexual assault relating to four women more than two decades ago. Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile broadcasters and former husband of U.S. pop singer Katy Perry, appeared at Southwark Crown Court and denied all five criminal charges. The 49-year-old has consistently denied having non-consensual sex since allegations were first aired two years ago. British prosecutors announced in April that Brand had been charged with two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault against four women between 1999 and 2005. Brand, who previously gave his address as being in England but also lives in the U.S., is due to stand trial in June 2026. He spoke only to confirm his name and enter his five not guilty pleas, before leaving the court with his lawyer and some companions. PREVIOUS DENIAL After the charges were first announced, Brand said in a video posted on social media that in his younger days, before getting married and having children, he had been a fool and a sex addict but "what I never was, was a rapist". In the 2000s, Brand was a regular on British screens, known for his flamboyant style and appearance. He worked for the BBC and starred in a number of films including "Get Him to the Greek" before marrying Perry in 2010. They divorced 14 months later. By the early 2020s, he had faded from mainstream culture, appearing primarily on his internet channel where he airs his views on U.S. politics and free speech. In September 2023, the Sunday Times and Channel 4 TV's "Dispatches" show reported allegations of sex offences against him. Police began investigating some weeks later. Brand, who said last year he had become a Christian, rejected those accusations. (Reporting by Sam Tobin; editing by William James and Mark Heinrich)
