LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - British actor and comedian Russell Brand pleaded not guilty in a London court on Tuesday to two additional charges of rape and sexual assault allegedly committed against two women nearly two decades ago.
Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile broadcasters and former husband of U.S. pop singer Katy Perry, appeared at Southwark Crown Court where he denied raping one woman and sexually assaulting a second woman in 2009.
