Russell Brand Granted Bail After First London Hearing Over Rape and Sexual Assault Charges as Judge Sends Case to Central Criminal Court

Russell Brand was granted bail after appearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on charges of multiple sexual offences, including rape, following allegations spanning 1999 to 2005 against him in the UK. Despite his denial of the claims, which involved consensual relationships with four women, he confirmed his name and date of birth before being sent to a higher court. He provided both U.S. and U.K. addresses and acknowledged potential consequences if he failed to appear.
