The alleged offences took place in 2009, the CPS said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>Brand, 50, had already been charged in April with two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault. The charges were brought after an 18-month investigation launched when four women alleged they had been assaulted by the comedian.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said these offences took place from 1999 to 2005, one in the English seaside town of Bournemouth and the other three in London.<\/p>\n<p>Brand pleaded not guilty to those charges in a London court.<\/p>\n<p>He is expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court on January 20 in relation to the two new charges. A trial has also been scheduled for June 16 and is expected to last four to five weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The Get Him to the Greek actor, known for risque stand-up routines and battles with drugs and alcohol, has dropped out of the mainstream media in recent years. He built a large following online with videos mixing wellness with conspiracy theories as well as discussions about religion.<\/p>\n<p>When the first group of charges was announced in April, Brand said he welcomed the opportunity to prove his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord,\u201d he said in a social media video. \u201cI was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile. But what I never was, was a rapist. I\u2019ve never engaged in nonconsensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Detective Chief Inspector Tariq Farooqi said the women involved in the case \u201ccontinue to receive support from specially trained officers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He added the police investigation was ongoing and urged \u201canyone affected by this case or anyone with information to come forward\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 50-year-old comedian is already facing similar charges, including rape and sexual assault, involving four women.
