British actor Russell Brand accused of rape and sexual assault
BBC quoted Russell Brand as saying in the video. "These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time when I was in the movies, and as I've written about extensively in my books I was very, very promiscuous.
Now during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual," he added. Russell Brand said he is being subjected to “coordinated attacks" and he will look into the matter as it seems to be “very, very serious." During the period of his alleged sexual assaults, Russell Brand worked as an actor in Hollywood, a presenter for BBC Radio 2, and Channel 4, the BBC report mentions.
