and actor Russell Brand has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault. The 49-year-old appeared in the dock at Southwark Crown Court on Friday flanked by two officers, where
he stood stock-still and looked straight ahead as he delivered his pleas. He is accused of raping a woman in a hotel room while she attended a Labour Party conference, and grabbing a TV
worker’s breasts and orally raping her after dragging her into a male toilet. Brand is also alleged to have grabbed a radio station worker’s face, pushing her against a wall and kissing her
before groping her breasts and buttocks. The final charge alleges the actor indecently assaulted another woman after grabbing her forearm and attempting to drag her into a male toilet.
Brand, of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, who faces one count each of rape, indecent assault and oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault, is due to stand trial on June 3 next year at
the same court.
