Russell Brand pleads not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault.

A pre-trial hearing took place earlier today at London's Southwark Crown Court, one year prior to when Brand's official trial is set to begin.

Investigations regarding the actor/comedian first began back in 2023 after the Sunday Times newspaper and British broadcaster Channel 4 reported allegations of rape and sexual assault by four women.

Official charges were made by London's Metropolitan Police on April 4 regarding the alleged incidents, all of which took place between 1999 and 2005.

In today's court appearance Brand upheld his innocence, pleading not guilty to all of the five charges against him.

He is due to face a judge and jury in court on June 3 of next year when his trial begins.
