Comedian and actor Russell Brand has been granted bail after appearing in court charged with rape and sexual assault.
Brand spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, address and that he understood his bail conditions during a short hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
The 49-year-old, wearing an open shirt and jeans, listened intently to the details of the charges as he sat in the dock.
Brand was charged by post last month with one count each of rape, indecent assault and oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault, relating to four separate women.
