Russell Brand at Court for Hearing Before Rape Trial
The hearing precedes a trial expected to last 10 to 12 weeks after Brand denied charges brought by six women.
- On Tuesday, Russell Brand arrived at Southwark Crown Court in London for the first of two days of pre-trial hearings in a black Mercedes, remaining silent as he entered the building.
- The 51-year-old actor faces three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault, and one allegation of indecent assault following a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches.
- Allegations from six women span a decade between 1999 and 2009, including an incident at a Labour Party conference in Bournemouth; the trial begins on Monday, October 12, lasting up to 10 weeks.
- Brand, who previously starred in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, maintains all relationships were consensual; the two days of legal argument scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday precede the full trial.
- In recent years, the former British television fixture has pivoted to podcasting and online influencing on Rumble; he now lives in Florida with his wife, Laura, awaiting trial.
