Actor Russell Brand accused of sexual assault in New York suit
Hindustan Times
|November 05, 2023
British actor-comedian Russell Brand was accused in a lawsuit filed on Friday of sexually assaulting a film extra on the New York City set of the 2011 romantic comedy Arthur, in which he starred as a boozing, philandering heir to a fortune.
-
The suit follows a recent flurry of allegations reported in the British news media against the 48-year-old performer by several women accusing him of sexual assault and inappropriate behaviour, some dating back 20 years.
British police said they were investigating a number of the allegations, but the New York lawsuit filed on Friday marks the first such accusation levelled in court.
It was brought in state court under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which gives accusers a one-year window to sue over alleged sexual abuse from a long time ago, even if statutes of limitations have expired.
