The comedian who had been previously charged with several sexual assault allegations has reportedly pleaded not guilty to two additional charges of rape and sexual assault in London court. Let's delve in to know all about the case.
More details of Russell Brand pleading not guilty to additional charges
The former TV host and comedian had reportedly appeared in Southwark Crown Court in Central London to enter his plea, related to two alleged cases with two separate women in the British capital in 2009.
