Russell Brand fined after being caught speeding
ReutersActor and comedian Russell Brand has pleaded guilty to speeding.
The 49-year-old was caught driving his Mini at 95mph on the M4 near Slough on 16 June 2024.
He also drove the car at 37mph in a 30mph zone in Shiplake, near his Oxfordshire home, on 23 March, High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court heard.
The former Radio 2 presenter was fined £3,457 and handed eight points on his licence.
Brand, who did not attend the short hearing, was given three penalty points for the 37mph breach and five for the other.
He is currently under investigation by police over allegations of sex crimes made against him by multiple women.
An evidence file has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service to decide if he should face charges.
It came after a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed last year that four women had accused him of sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013.
Brand denies the allegations and previously said all his sexual relationships were “absolutely always consensual”.
