Russell Brand has arrived for his day in court in London.
Brand, who nearly two years ago was the subject of a Channel 4 and The Times exposĂŠ, has been charged with rape, indecent assault and sexual assault by Londonâs Metropolitan Police.
He has been pictured in the past few minutes arriving at Westminster Magistrates Court, where he is facing his first hearing.
Question marks had been raised over whether he would turn up or face possible extradition. Brand is currently living in the U.S. and has been seen several times at Donald Trumpâs Mar-a-Lago resort, but the comedian and TV host said after he was charged that he is âincredibly gratefulâ to be able to defend the charges in court.

It has been alleged that Brand raped a woman in Bournemouth in 1999; indecently assaulted a woman in 2001 in Westminster, London; orally raped and sexually assaulted a woman in Westminster in 2004; and between 2004 and 2005 sexually assaulted a woman, also in Westminster.
Watch on DeadlineAccording to reports, court documents yesterday revealed Brand is accused of indecently assaulting one woman in 2001 by allegedly âgrabbing her arm and dragging her towards a male toiletâ amongst others.
Upon the charges being announced, the one-time Forgetting Sarah Marshall star, whose resident address is in Oxfordshire, said he was a âdrug addict, sex addict and an imbecileâ during his youth, but he was never a rapist. âIâve never engaged in non-consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes,â he told his social media followers last month.
The revelations about Brand led to much anger and industry introspection. Since then, the BBC, Channel 4 and Big Brother producer Banijay have all led internal probes, having worked with Brand on shows up until late last decade. All these probes have led to apologies and further revelations. The most recent report from the BBC found that staff at the UK broadcasterâs L.A. bureau had âjoked aboutâ an incident in which the star was alleged to have exposed himself to a woman in a bathroom. Channel 4âs report, published almost exactly a year ago, unearthed âtwo new worrying allegationsâ against Brand, who had worked on Celebrity Bake Off as recently as 2018.
