Headline: Russell Brand fails in bid to delay U.S. civil sexual assualt case
Caption: The British comedian, 49, last week sought a delay in the U.S. case, suggesting there could be a potential "overlap" with the British criminal case and that civil proceedings should be postponed, according to documents seen by The Sun on Sunday. However, Judge Shlomo Hagler of the New York Supreme Court rejected the request and it was subsequently withdrawn. In the U.K., Metropolitan Police officers confirmed on Friday that Brand had been charged with rape, indecent assault, oral rape and two counts of sexual assault.
