In a development involving comedian Russell Brand, British authorities have leveled additional charges of rape and sexual assault against him. These new allegations are in addition to existing charges related to four other women.

The Crown Prosecution Service in the UK announced these fresh charges, which include one count of rape and one count of sexual assault. These latest accusations involve incidents reportedly occurring in 2009 and pertain to two more women.

Recently, the StubHub website made headlines by mistakenly mixing up a heavy metal band with a Christian concert.

Brand, who is 50, was already facing serious accusations from earlier this year. In April, he was charged with two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault. These charges emerged after an 18-month investigation following claims from four women who accused the controversial figure of assault.

The alleged offenses from the earlier charges are said to have occurred between 1999 and 2005, with one incident in Bournemouth and three others in London. Brand has denied these accusations, pleading not guilty in a London court earlier this year.

The “Get Him to the Greek” actor, known for risqué stand-up routines and battles with drugs and alcohol, has dropped out of the mainstream media in recent years. He built a large following online with videos mixing wellness and conspiracy theories, as well as discussing religion.

When the first batch of charges were announced in April, Brand said that he welcomed the opportunity to prove his innocence.

“I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord,” he said in a social media video. “I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile. But what I never was a rapist. I’ve never engaged in nonconsensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”

The Associated Press doesn’t name victims of alleged sexual violence, and British law protects their identity from the media for life.
