Russell Brand Faces Two New Sexual Assault Charges, Bringing Total to Seven

Russell Brand is now facing seven sexual assault and rape charges after British prosecutors added two new counts against the 50-year-old comedian and YouTube host, the New York Times reports.

Brand was already fighting five charges in Britain stemming from allegations between 1999 and 2005. He pleaded not guilty to those counts in May. The two new charges relate to incidents involving two women in 2009.

Brand is scheduled to appear in court in London on January 20th. He had not commented on the new charges as of publication.
