Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Russell Brand accused of rape and sexual assault
Caption: Russell Brand accused of rape and sexual assault. The actor and comedian is at the centre of a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches. Russell has vehemently denied all the claims, after four women made allegations about the star's behaviour between 2006 and 2013. In a video posted on Friday before the allegations were published, Russell insisted his relationships were "absolutely always consensual”. "I have received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of egregious and aggressive attacks.” "Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.” "When I was in the movies and as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. During that time of promiscuity, the relationships that I had were absolutely always consensual.” The investigation was published this weekend in The Sunday Times, while a Dispatches documentary titled Russell Brand - In Plain Sight aired on Saturday evening in the U.K. on Channel 4. One woman alleged Russell raped her at his Los Angeles home, while a second woman claimed Russell assaulted her when she was 16 and he was in his 30s. A third woman accused the actor of sexually assaulting her when she worked for him in Los Angeles while a fourth woman alleged Russell sexually assaulted her and was physically and emotionally abusive towards her.
