Crown Prosecution Service Threatens Brand With Jail for Discussing Allegations
Pints with Aquinas
Overcoming Addiction, Allegations and Finding Christ (Russell Brand) | Ep. 578
What was said
"Since the Piers Morgan and Megyn Kelly interviews, the Crown Prosecution Service contacted me via my lawyers to say that if you talk about this case at all, okay, we will withdraw your bail and you will wait for trial in custody."
Russell Brand revealed that UK prosecutors warned him through his lawyers that any public discussion of the sexual assault allegations against him would result in immediate incarceration while awaiting trial. This disclosure came after controversial appearances on Piers Morgan and Megyn Kelly's shows where Brand was pressed on the accusations. Brand fully denies the allegations but is legally constrained from elaborating.
