Russell Brand jury will not be shown TV documentary | BBC News 2026

The jury in Russell Brand’s rape trial won’t see a TV documentary that a complainant says led her to come forward.

Judge Mr Justice Bennathan said it would be unfair to show the Channel 4 Dispatches programme because the allegations it contains have not been tested in court, but said that jurors will hear about it during the trial.

The 51-year-old actor and comedian faces seven charges – three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.

The allegations, made by six female complainants, span a 10-year period between 1999 and 2009. He denies the charges.
