Russell Brand Formally Charged with Multiple Sexual Offenses in the UK

Brand denies all allegations as legal battles intensify in both the UK and US, with a UK court appearance set for May 2 and a US civil case proceeding under the Adult Survivors Act.

Russell Brand has been charged in the UK with rape, indecent assault, oral rape, and sexual assault involving four women between 1999 and 2005.
In the US, Brand faces a civil lawsuit filed under the Adult Survivors Act, alleging sexual assault on the set of the 2010 film 'Arthur.'
Brand's legal team unsuccessfully sought to delay the US lawsuit, citing concerns over self-incrimination due to overlapping issues with the UK criminal case.
Judge Shlomo Hagler extended Brand's deposition deadline in the US civil case to October 30, 2025, while denying the request for a broader delay.
Brand continues to deny all allegations, asserting his relationships were consensual and framing the accusations as part of a targeted campaign against him.
