Russell Brand admits he slept with a 16-year-old when he was 30

“I recognize that my past sexual behavior was selfish and that I did not pay enough attention to how that sex affected other people,” he added.

Brand’s confession was quickly condemned by fans on social media.

A third chimed in: “Did Russell Brand really voluntarily cancel himself?” as another called the ‘disgusting’ actor.

Brand is facing three charges of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one charge of indecent assault.

His trial will begin on October 12, when his six accusers will speak about the claims, and he in turn will have a chance to testify.

A court has previously heard how Brand is accused of raping a woman in a hotel room while she attended a Labor Party conference in Bournemouth, England, in 1999, grabbing a TV worker’s breasts and orally raping her after dragging her into a men’s toilet in 2004.

Brand, who was previously married to pop star Katy Perry, is also facing claims he grabbed a radio station worker’s face, pushed her against a wall and kissed her before groping her buttocks and breasts.

As he attended his final court hearing, he carried a Bible, an unbuttoned animal print shirt and a white hat. When asked how he felt off the court, he told reporters: “Blessed.”
