Overview
- At Southwark Crown Court, Brand denied charges that he sexually assaulted one woman in London in 2009 and raped another described in court as a woman aged 16 or older that same year.
- The judge kept Brand under legal supervision following the brief hearing, and the trial is slated to begin in June 2026.
- British police say a total of six women have made accusations against Brand across the various matters under investigation.
- In May 2025, Brand pleaded not guilty to charges linked to four women alleging offences between 1999 and 2005, including rape, forced oral sex, sexual assault and sexual coercion.
- Court scheduling reports indicate a March hearing will consider whether the newly filed counts are joined to the existing case.
