Police in the United Kingdom said on Tuesday that British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been charged with two additional sex offenses a new count of rape and another of sexual assault. Brand is already under investigation on five charges made in April involving four women two counts of rape, one of indecent assault, and two of sexual assault. The new charges relate to two other women.
As MS NOW's Brandy Zadrozny reported earlier this month, Hines took the stage with the accused sexual abuser at a conference for her husband's old organization Children's Health Defense, where Brand asked the audience to buy multiple copies of her new memoir, Unscripted, and bring in some extra proceeds, one night only, for the junk-science nonprofit that was hosting them. (He then went on to tout transphobic conspiracy theories around the French president's wife in "ramblings that seemed to make Hines ... visibly uncomfortable.")
