Russell Brand arrives at court and pleads not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges | ITV News

Comedian and actor Russell Brand is set to enter pleas to sex offence charges including rape and indecent assault.

The 49-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court earlier this month, where he heard details of allegations against him.

Brand was charged last month by post with one count each of rape, indecent assault and oral rape as well as two counts of sexual assault.

Russell Brand has previously denied all allegations made against him.

Speaking to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson following the documentary’s release Brand said: "I’m aware that I put myself in an extremely vulnerable position by being very, very promiscuous, [but] that is not the type of conduct I endorse, and it’s certainly not how I would live now.

"Of course, I deny any allegations of the kind that have been advanced – and what I have seen is the significance of family and the importance of beliefs that are transcendent of this."
