Russell Brand Faces Potential Charges Over Historical Sexual Assault Allegations

UK prosecutors are reviewing evidence submitted by police regarding multiple allegations against the comedian from 2006 to 2013.

The Metropolitan Police have passed a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider charges against Russell Brand.
The allegations, which Brand denies, include rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse during his peak fame years.
Brand has been interviewed by police three times as part of the investigation, which began after a 2023 joint media report.
The investigation has received multiple reports from women in London and other parts of the UK.
BBC and Channel 4 have previously apologized for not adequately addressing complaints about Brand during his employment.
