On Nov. 5, 2026, Brand was found guilty of raping a woman at his former home in London in 2009.

Days after Brand met the woman at the Hammersmith Apollo theatre where he’d been performing a comedy show, she visited his home in London.

There, they had consensual sex before Brand anally raped her.

The victim told the court that Brand “hurt me and harmed me and when I asked him to stop he didn’t.”

Brand was also convicted of three counts of sexual assault during his trial in November 2026.

One of the counts was from Brand assaulting a woman at a bar in London in 2004.

At the time, Brand grabbed the woman’s breasts while they were chatting at the bar at a birthday party in Soho.

In a second count, Brand sexually assaulted a woman in either 2004 or 2005 at the Choice FM studios in London.

The actor grabbed the woman’s face and kissed her before touching her breasts and butt.

For the third and final sexual assault charge, Brand was convicted of laying his head on a woman’s groin area — without her consent — while working on a Channel 4 project in 2009.

The woman claimed Brand’s mouth and nose were in her vaginal area.

“Russell Brand was predatory and used his celebrity status to commit sexual crimes,” senior Crown prosecutor David Roberts told CBC News.

“He was a manipulator with an insatiable desire to get what he wanted, regardless of whether consent was given or not,” Roberts added.

Acquitted charges

Two counts of rape

Brand was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault during his criminal trial.

One of the rape charges stemmed from an alleged incident in 1999 that took place inside a hotel room during a political party conference.

A woman claimed a naked Brand allegedly pushed her onto the bed, removed her underwear and raped her.

Attempted indecent assault

The count of attempted indecent assault involved an allegation from 2001, when a female MTV employee claimed Brand grabbed her arm and tried to drag her into a men’s bathroom at the network’s London office.

Accusations

The “Get Him to the Greek” actor is facing two additional rape accusations following his guilty verdict.

A then-16-year-old schoolgirl claimed during a pre-trial court hearing that she dated Brand when he was 30.

In a statement to Sky News, the Met Police said the investigation “remains ongoing.”

“The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations,” they said. “Files have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to both complainants.”

“Detectives remain in close contact with prosecutors as enquiries continue and further investigative work is carried out.”
