A 1994 episode of The Bill featured Russell Brand as an arrested teenager. The scene has resurfaced after his 2026 rape and sexual assault convictions.

Russell Brand was convicted of rape and three sexual assaults at Southwark Crown Court. He was subsequently sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison.

A former MTV employee has told jurors that Russell Brand grabbed her arm and attempted to pull her into a men's toilet in 2001. His defence challenged her account, suggesting that publicity surrounding a 2023 documentary had influenced her recollection.

Jurors at Southwark Crown Court have heard a woman's account of an alleged rape by Russell Brand at the 1999 Labour Party conference in Bournemouth. She rejected the suggestion that the encounter was consensual.

Russell Brand's rape and sexual assault trial has heard allegations spanning a decade, with prosecutors accusing the comedian of exploiting women as his fame grew. A former friend told jurors Brand had admitted going “too far” following an encounter in 1999, a claim challenged by the defence.
