Russell Brand granted bail after the court appears on rape costs

However, the brand only spoke to confirm its name, date of birth and address, while the bail conditions are recognized.

He is now ready to face the Oude Bailey on 30 May on 30 May.

While the Metropolitan Police listed him as living in South England when the charges were announced in April, the British News Outlet PA Media claims that he has now lived in the United States.

Detectives launched an investigation into the radio presenter in September 2023 after explosive allegations came from a joint probe The Sunday Times” Timeand channel 4s Shipments.

The Metropolitan Police claims that the incidents are a rape from 1999 in Bournemouth, an indecent attack from 2001 in Westminster, an oral rape from 2004 and sexual violence in Westminster, and another sexual attack between 2004-2005 also in Westminster.

Detective head inspector Andy Furphy of the metropolitan police, who led the investigation, said last month: “The women who made reports continue to receive support from specially trained officers.

“The investigation of the with remains open and detectives ask everyone who has been hit by this case or someone who has information to come forward and talk to the police.”

Jaswant Narwal, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Today we authorized the Metropolitan Police to accuse Russell Brand of a number of sexual offenses.

“We carefully assessed the evidence after a police investigation into accusations made after the broadcast of a channel 4 documentary in September 2023.

“We have concluded that the Russell brand must be accused of offenses, including rape, sexual abuse and indecent attack. These relate to reported non-recruitment offenses between 1999 and 2005, in which four women are involved.”

Narwal added: “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal procedures are active and the defendant has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there is no reporting, commentary or sharing information online that can harm this procedure in any way.”

In September 2023 – after the investigation had started – the brand went to Instagram to post a video that denies the allegations.

He explained: “I received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an e -mail, one of a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, with a litany of extremely gross and aggressive attacks.

“But in the midst of this litany of amazing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious accusations that I absolutely refute.”

The circumstances claimed that the relationships he had were “absolutely, always consensual”.
