Russell Brand has been formally charged with multiple sexual offenses involving four women, and has appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court where he was released on bail. The charges span from 1999 to 2005 and include one count each of rape, oral rape, and indecent assault, along with two counts of sexual assault. Brand has publicly denied the accusations, asserting that all of his past encounters were consensual.
The court has referred the case to the Crown Court (Old Bailey), where Brand is scheduled to appear on 30 May 2025. During the brief hearing, he confirmed his personal details and acknowledged his bail conditions. His composure in court and his statement on social media reflect his intention to contest the charges legally.
