He is also accused of orally raping and sexually assaulting a woman in Westminster in 2004.
A fourth charge alleges that a woman was sexually assaulted in Westminster between 2004 and 2005.
Brand has been told to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on May 2. It is believed he is in the United States.
Metropolitan Police open investigation
Police began investigating Brand in October 2023 after receiving several allegations made against him.
“The women who have made reports continue to receive support from specially trained officers,” Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy from the Metropolitan Police who is leading the investigation said.
“The Met’s investigation remains open and detectives ask anyone who has been affected by this case, or anyone who has any information, to come forward and speak with police.”

Jaswant Narwal of the Crown Prosecution Service said: “We have today authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Russell Brand with a number of sexual offences.
“We carefully reviewed the evidence after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary in September 2023,” he then continued.
“We have concluded that Russell Brand should be charged with offences including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault. These relate to reported non-recent offences between 1999 and 2005, involving four women,” he then added.
Brand has previously denied allegations made against him, branding them “very, very hurtful”. He has also then claimed that his relationships have been “always consensual”.
