Russell Brand has pleaded not guilty to charges of multiple alleged sex attacks, including an alleged rape at the Labour Party conference.

The US-based comedian has denied the allegations of rape, indecent assault and sexual assault at a hearing at Southwark Crown Court today.

The star wore an open black and white pinstripe shirt and several pendants, including two crosses, as he walked into the court ahead of his plea hearing this morning. He was clutching a prayer book called The Valley of Vision in his right hand.

The incidents, alleged by four women, are said to occurred between 1999 and 2005.

He will stand trial over the charges next year, with a trial beginning June 3 2026 that is set to last four to five weeks.
