Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 14, 2026 —
The sex assault trial of actor-comedian Russell Brand has begun in London, with the prosecution outlining allegations made by six women concerning offenses said to have occurred between 1999 and 2009. Brand has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
In presenting its case, the prosecution described Brand as a ruthless sexual predator
. That characterization is the prosecution’s; the allegations remain allegations as the trial proceeds. Brand’s not-guilty pleas mean he denies the charges.
The information provided about the opening of the trial does not specify the individual charges, the number of charges, or details of the allegations made by each woman. It also does not identify the court, say when the trial began beyond noting that it is underway, or provide a schedule for further proceedings. Those details have not been included here.
The case concerns alleged conduct over a 10-year period, from 1999 through 2009, and involves six women, according to the account of the prosecution’s opening. The trial will consider the allegations and Brand’s responses to the charges. No verdict or further outcome was provided in the available information.
At this stage, the central facts reported are that the trial has begun in London, the prosecution has set out allegations involving six women and a period spanning 1999 to 2009, and Brand has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The prosecution’s description of Brand is an argument presented in the case, not a finding by the court.
