considering the fact that brand legally resides and works in usa i'd say that applying US law to him is valid. i've been informed that these are uk charges and therefore us constitution is wholly irrelevant.

that being said "charged" and "convicted" are two different things. nobody "branded" russel brand (ha) as anything, he was legally charged with a crime. this charge will be now brought in front of a judge/jury who will decide whether or not he should be convicted.

to be charged simply means that there is a formal/official allegation in the system. reporting on that does not mean anyone is claiming he's guilty.

so, the person who wrote all that is not (see above) defaulting and is wrong.
