Controversial comedian Russell Brand has been charged by the police over alleged speeding offences
The Get Him To The Greek actor, 49, is separately under investigation by the Metropolitan Police over allegations of sex crimes made by multiple women. And now, it has been reported that the star is facing charges over his driving.
The Mirror have reached out to his reps for comment. It is understood that the case was first dealt with in the Single Justice Procedure but is seemingly heading to an open court hearing. His lawyer asked for no pleas to be entered against any of the charges, with the lawyer writing on October 10: "We would respectfully request that the Single Justice take no pleas at this stage and that the cases be listed for a mention hearing so that representations can be made to the police in relation to a swift resolution of the matter. Should the court not be satisfied with no pleas being entered then we would ask for preliminary not guilty pleas to be taken for ALL FOUR charges.
His alleged driving offences come after the comedian had been hitting headlines over the allegations of rape, assault and emotional abuse made against him. The accusations were made following a joint investigation by Channel 4 ’s Dispatches programme, The Times and Sunday Times last year.
