After beginning a career as a stand-up comedian with risque routines, Brand, who later gained notoriety as the former husband of pop star Katy Perry, was also charged with one count of rape, indecent assault, and oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault, according to the police.
According to Crown Prosecution Service Jaswant Narwal, “We have authorized the Metropolitan Police to charge Russell Brand with a number of sexual offences today.”

Following a police investigation into allegations made after a Channel 4 documentary was broadcast in September 2023, we carefully examined the evidence.
Russell Brand should be accused of rape, sexual assault, and other indecent assault, we have come to the conclusion.
These relate to four women who were allegedly involved in non-recent crimes committed between 1999 and 2005.
The investigation is still ongoing, according to Met Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy.
He urged “anyone who has been affected by this case, or anyone with any information to come forward and speak with the police.”
In addition to the sexual assault and oral rape of a woman in 2004 in London’s central Westminster area, Brand is accused of raping a woman in 1999 in the Bournemouth area of England’s south coast.
He is also accused of sexually assaulting another woman between 2004 and 2005, both of which are alleged to have occurred in Westminster.
On May 2, Brand will appear before magistrates in Westminster.
