​British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been formally charged with multiple sexual offenses by the Metropolitan Police Service. The charges include one count each of rape, indecent assault, and oral rape, along with two counts of sexual assault. These allegations involve four separate women and pertain to incidents that allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2005 in locations such as Bournemouth and Westminster, London. The investigation was initiated in September 2023 following reports by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times. Brand has consistently denied these accusations, asserting that all his relationships during that period were consensual. He is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 2, 2025.

In addition to the charges in the United Kingdom, Brand is facing legal challenges in the United States. An anonymous woman, identified as Jane Doe, has filed a civil lawsuit in New York, alleging that Brand sexually assaulted her during the filming of the 2011 movie "Arthur." The lawsuit also names Warner Bros. as a defendant. Brand's legal team has expressed concern about the potential for criminal charges in the U.S., citing the overlap between the U.S. civil case and the U.K. criminal proceedings. Despite these legal issues, Brand is scheduled to speak at Florida's New College on April 12, 2025, discussing topics related to free speech and cancel culture. The college's decision to proceed with his appearance has sparked debate, given the serious nature of the allegations against him.
