On October 12, 2026, Russell Brand arrived at Southwark Crown Court in London for his trial on charges of rape and sexual assault. The trial is expected to last between 10 to 12 weeks and involves seven charges related to six women, with alleged incidents occurring between 1999 and 2009. Prosecutors described Brand as a "ruthless" sexual predator during opening statements on October 14, detailing assaults in various locations including hotel rooms, workplaces, toilet cubicles, bars, and at his home address.
On November 11, 2026, it was reported that Thames Valley Police visited the Oxfordshire home of Brand's ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith in 2014 after she claimed to have been assaulted by him. Despite her involvement with journalists over several years and allegations made during his trial, no arrests were made at the time due to a lack of evidence.
