British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been accused by an unnamed actress of sexually assaulting her during the filming of the movie "Arthur" in 2010 in New York, according to court documents revealed Friday. The complaint filed before the New York State Supreme Court follows accusations by several women, and investigations in September and October by media and police in Britain of alleged rape, sexual assault and psychological violence.
Brand has denied the previous allegations, saying his relationships had always been "consensual." Those incidents allegedly occurred between 2006 and 2013.
The New York complaint was filed by an anonymous "Jane Doe" and alleges that on July 7, 2010, "I was working on the set of the movie 'Arthur' when the lead actor Russell Brand sexually assaulted me."
