Russell Brand Fined Over Speeding Offenses, Avoids Driving Ban

The comedian and actor pleaded guilty to two speeding charges, while a separate investigation into sexual assault allegations continues.

Russell Brand, 49, was fined £3,457 after pleading guilty to speeding at 95mph on the M4 and 37mph in a 30mph zone near his home in Oxfordshire.
Brand received a total of eight penalty points for the offenses, bringing his license to 11 points—just one short of an automatic driving ban.
The charges were addressed during a hearing at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court, which Brand did not attend in person.
Separately, Brand is under investigation for allegations of sexual assaults made by four women, spanning incidents from 2006 to 2013.
An evidence file related to the sexual assault allegations has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, with no decision yet on whether charges will be filed.
