British comedian and actor Russell Brand was spotted leaving a court in London today (May 30th, 2025) after attending a plea hearing.
The media personality pleaded not guilty to five charges of rape and sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court in South London.
Brand, from Hambleden in Buckinghamshire, denied five charges related to alleged incidents that took place between 1999 and 2005.
He was charged by post last month with the following:
- One count of rape
- One count of indecent assault
- One count of oral rape
- Two counts of sexual assault
The 49-year-old, who has been living in the US, was flanked by two officers as he pleaded not guilty to all the charges at Southwark Crown Court today, reports Sky News.
He was photographed wearing an open shirt and black sunglasses. He was also pictured clasping a black notebook as he walked into court.
According to the Daily Mail he arrived at court in a black Mercedes Benz.
Brand is due to stand trial next year. The trial is fixed for June 3, 2026, and is expected to last for four to five weeks.
