Russell Brand's legal challenges intensified as his lawyers filed a motion in New York Supreme Court to delay a civil lawsuit amid fears of impending criminal charges in the US. This comes after British authorities charged him with multiple rapes and sexual assaults. Brand's civil suit involves accusations of sexual assault from a woman identified as Jane Doe. His lawyers cited the existing UK criminal investigation and public allegations as reasons for the request for a delay, fearing any statements made could be self-incriminating.
"The fact that Mr Brand is already facing a criminal investigation in the United Kingdom - coupled with highly publicized allegations that have been made (both by this Plaintiff and others)..."
"Brand hasn't been charged over the allegations tied to the lawsuit, which accuses him of sexually assaulting the extra on the set of 'Arthur' in 2010 while a crew member allegedly 'guarded the door from outside.'"
