Russell Brand is now facing rape and sexual assault charges for 4 separate alleged incidents, dating as far back as 1999.
The comedian was hit with with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape and 2 counts of sexual assault … this according to London’s Metropolitan Police Service.
Detectives began investigating the comedian after a series of allegations were made against him in 2023 … and, they now allege Brand committed a series of assaults between 1999 and 2005.
We spoke with law enforcement … and they tell us Brand is not in police custody at this time, but is expected to be in court May 2 to face the charges.
Brand vehemently denied the claims of rapeagainst him back in 2023 just before Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times released a joint report of multiple women claiming Brand abused them between 2006 and 2013. He insisted all of his sexual activity over the years has been consensual.
A couple months after the report came out, Brand was sued by a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her on the “Arthur” movie set … another claim he denied.
Brand has admitted to drug and alcohol abuse in his past … though he’s documented his life changes in more recent years, including his baptism in April 2024.
We’ve reached out to Brand … so far, no word back.
