The alleged offenses involve two new women and reportedly occurred in 2009. This follows previous charges in April of two counts of rape, two of sexual assault, and one of indecent assault, stemming from allegations by four women for incidents between 1999 and 2005 in Bournemouth and London. Brand has pleaded not guilty to the initial charges. He is scheduled to appear in court on January 20 regarding the new charges, with a trial for all charges set for June 16.
