Russell Brand granted bail following two new sexual assault charges

Russel Brand was granted bail after new allegations of sexual assault charges broke against the actor last month. 

Brand appeared in court via video link from his Florida home and only spoke during the hearing to confirm his name and date of birth. The new charges are one count of rape and one count of sexual assault. He did not enter a plea during the short court appearance. 

The United Kingdom’s Crown Prosecution Service announced the additional charges against Brand last month, stemming from different police reports involving two women in 2009. Brand was in court Tuesday for these new charges. 

The new charges come after Brand was charged in March with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape,
