Russell Brand has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count each of rape, oral rape and indecent assault against four separate women, the Metropolitan Police announced on Friday.
The investigation into the comedian began in September 2023 when a number of alleged victims came forward.
“The women who have made reports continue to receive support from specially trained officers,” Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy said in a statement. “The Met’s investigation remains open and detectives ask anyone who has been affected by this case, or anyone who has any information, to come forward and speak with police.”
