Comedian Russell Brand has been charged with a string of rapes and sexual assaults dating back more than 25 years, British police said Friday.
The 49-year-old was hit charges of rape, indecent assault, oral rape and two counts of sexual assault, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The alleged offenses are tied to four separate women and took place between 1999 and 2005, cops said.
The British actor, who was once married to pop star Katy Perry, is accused of raping one woman in Bournemouth in 1999 and indecently assaulting another in 2001 in London’s Westminster area.
Police said he is also responsible for the alleged oral rape and sexual assault of a woman in Westminster in 2004, as well as the sexual assault of another alleged victim between 2004 and 2005.
Cops started investigating Brand back in September 2023.
They noted they’d received a handful of complaints after The Sunday Times and Channel 4 TV’s documentary show “Dispatches” reported that four women had accused Brand of sexual assault – including one rape that allegedly occurred between 2006 and 2013.
