Comedian actor and actor Russell Brand acknowledged that he was not guilty in the London Court on charges of rape and sexual assault on four women dating back more than 25 years.
Brand, 50 years old next week, denied two accusations of rape, two charges of sexual assault and one charge of inappropriate assault. He said, “Unfortunately” after reading every accusation in Southwark, a court of court.
Prosecutors said that the crimes took place between 1999 and 2005 – one in the English coastal town of Bournemouth and the other three in London.
The brand did not speak to the correspondents as he arrived at the court wearing dark sunglasses, a suit jacket, a black black shirt open below his chest and black jeans.

He is accused of raping a woman in a hotel room in Bournemouth when she attended the 1999 Labor Conference and met him at an event he was performing.
A second woman said that Brand grabbed her and tried to drag her into a men’s toilet at a TV station in London in 2001.
The third defendant was a television employee who met the brand at the 2004 birthday party, where he claimed that he grabbed her breasts before pulling her to a toilet and forcing her to have sex by mouth.
The final defendant worked at a radio station and met the brand while working to showcase the “Big Broth” TV program between 2004 and 2005.
British law protects the identity of alleged sexual violence victims.
