Russell Brand is charged with rape and sexual coercion. The allegations are said to have occurred between 1999 and 2005.
The exact allegations
After several women filed a complaint, the comedian is accused of rape, immoral bodily harm, oral rape and sexual assault. So far, Brand has denied all accusations and claims that all of his sexual relationships were mutually acceptable.
Since Russell Brand is currently living in the United States and is therefore a suspect abroad, the British public prosecutor has to agree on a return with it. If the 49-year-old does not agree, a delivery application can also be considered, because on May 2, Brand should appear in front of the Westminster Magistrat’s Court. The leading detective Andy Furphy said: “The women who have filed a complaint are still supported by specially trained civil servants.”
In the past he rejected all the allegations
Similar allegations arose two years ago: he is said to have sexually abused women between 2006 and 2013, partially raped. At that time he claimed that the accusations were a “coordinated attack by the media”, and explained: “I was sexually very, very free at the time. The relationships that I had at that time were all mutually agreed.”
In addition to his career as a comedian, which he started at “MTV UK”, he was always active as an actor from 2007. For example, he can be seen in comedies such as “Never again sex with the ex” and “men’s trip”. From 2010 to 2012 he was married to pop singer Katy Perry.
Due to the severe allegations that have already come against him in the past, Brand has become more and more disappeared from the mainstream media in recent years. He repeatedly spread conspiracy -like theories about social media.
