The 49-year-old formally denied the five charges for the first time at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday morning. In April, the comedian and actor was charged with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape and two counts of sexual assault. According to BBC News, Brand only spoke to confirm his name and reply "not guilty" to each of the counts during his time in the dock. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor will remain on conditional bail until the trial, which has been set for 3 June 2026. Brand did not speak to reporters outside the courthouse.
