Russell Brand accused of ‘grabbing woman and dragging her to male toilet’

Comedian and actor Russell Brand is accused of sexually assaulting a woman by touching her breasts and indecently assaulting another by grabbing her arm and dragging her towards a male toilet, court documents show. Brand, 49, who is understood to be living in the US, was charged by post last month with one count each of rape, indecent assault and oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault, relating to four separate women.

The Rumble content creator, who is a vocal Trump supporter, moved to the US in recent months and is currently believed to be living in Florida. Last year, Brand announced he was joining Christianity and was baptised in the River Thames in a ceremony involving TV adventurer Bear Grylls.
