Russell Brand
Denies Rape Allegations as Conviction Looms
Investigative Footage Released
Published
Russell Brand has voiced strong denials against the rape and sexual assault charges brought against him, with newly released police interrogation footage illustrating his steadfast rejection of these claims.
On Thursday, London’s Metropolitan Police made public parts of interviews conducted from 2023 to 2025, displaying Brand defending his past actions and asserting that he had committed no wrongdoing.
During the interrogations, Brand acknowledged his history of a “very promiscuous life” but asserted that he had “never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity.”
He condemned a 2023 documentary that detailed allegations against him as “defamatory and fictitious,” arguing that increased media scrutiny had led to consensual encounters being misrepresented as misconduct.
When pressed for specifics by investigators, Brand often refrained from offering further details, frequently stating he had “nothing further to add.”
As reported by TMZ, Brand was convicted on Thursday of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
He was acquitted of two additional rape charges and an attempted indecent assault.
Brand has been denied bail and will remain in custody until his sentencing on Monday, with the judge indicating that he faces considerable prison time.
