Overview
- The Metropolitan Police has charged Russell Brand with one count of rape, one count of oral rape, one count of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault.
- The charges stem from alleged incidents involving four women between 1999 and 2005 in Bournemouth and Westminster, London.
- The investigation began in September 2023 following a joint exposé by Channel 4, The Sunday Times, and The Times that detailed multiple allegations against Brand.
- Brand, who denies the allegations and maintains his past relationships were consensual, is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on May 2, 2025.
- The investigation remains open, with police encouraging others with information to come forward, while the women involved are receiving support from trained officers.
