Russell Brand told police he never had non-consensual sex

Russell Brand told police he had never engaged in “non-consensual sexual activity” when interviewed about allegations of rape and sexual assault, a court has heard. He is on trial at Southwark Crown Court and denies all charges.

Brand was interviewed four times between 2023 and 2025, giving a prepared statement at each interview. The jury was also asked to replace an indecent assault charge with attempted indecent assault after the judge ruled there was insufficient evidence for the original charge; the trial’s prosecution case is due to conclude on Wednesday morning.
