Russell Brand Granted Bail After First London Hearing Over Rape, Sexual Assault Charges as Judge Sends Case to Central Criminal Court
Russell Brand is in London court facing charges of rape, indecent and sexual assault relating to incidents with four women between 1999 and 2005.
The preliminary first hearing is expected to see the case — given the serious nature of the accusations — referred to the Crown Court for a trial to start at a later date. Shortly after the news of the charges broke, Brand — who now lives in the U.S. — addressed the allegations in a social media video. The 2023 expose — which included a 90-minute documentary and article in the Sunday Times — saw Brand accused of “rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse.” A rep for the show said that “five women, four of whom asked to remain anonymous, agreed to share their stories of serious sexual allegations in the program.”
