LONDON (AP) British police on Friday charged Russell Brand with rape and sexual assault following an 18-month investigation sparked when four women alleged they had been assaulted by the controversial comedian.
Brand denied engaging in non-consensual sexual activity.
The alleged offenses involve four women and took place between 1999 and 2005 one in the English seaside town of Bournemouth and the other three in the Westminster area of central London.
Police said the investigation remains open and urged anyone with relevant information to contact the force.
In September 2023, British media outlets Channel 4 and the Sunday Times published claims by four women of being sexually assaulted or raped by Brand. The accusers have not been identified.
The comedian, author and Get Him To The Greek actor has been interviewed by police about the allegations, which he denies.
In a video posted Friday on X, Brand said Ive never engaged in non-consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.
