RUSSELL Brand has been accused of sexually assaulting an actress while filming a movie in 2010.<\/p>\n
A lawsuit claims the comedian, 48, exposed himself to the woman on set before forcing her to perform sex acts on him in a bathroom stall.<\/p>\n

Brand has faced a\u00a0series of serious accusations\u00a0from a number of women, with Met Police confirming they are investigating claims.<\/p>\n
The comedian was accused of one rape and sexual assault when four women made\u00a0allegations to the Sunday Times\u00a0and\u00a0Channel 4's Dispatches programme.<\/p>\n
A slew of further claims then emerged as women revealed their stories to newspapers and the\u00a0BBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brand has vigorously denied\u00a0allegations made against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Brand accusing him of sexually assaulting a film extra – named only as Jane Doe – on the New York City set of the 2011 romantic comedy Arthur.<\/p>\n It marks the first accusation against Brand leveled in court.<\/p>\n It was brought in state court under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which gives accusers a one-year window to sue over alleged sexual abuse even if statutes of limitations have expired.<\/p>\n Jane Doe said she was hired to appear as a cast extra in July 2010.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The lawsuit claims Brand was drunk during production and exposed himself to Jane Doe as he sat at a table staring at her, "openly and obviously in the presence of everyone on set".<\/p>\n Jane Doe then claims Brand followed her into a bathroom where he forced her to perform sex acts on him.<\/p>\n The lawsuit says a production crew member stood directly outside.<\/p>\n The accuser says the assault caused "severe psychological injuries" and economic losses.<\/p>\n The suit seeks unspecified money damages from Brand on grounds of assault, battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n Warner Bros Pictures, which distributed Arthur was also named as a defendant – along with other companies involved in the film production. <\/p>\n They were accused of negligence and of aiding and abetting Brand by tolerating his misconduct on the set.<\/p>\n<\/picture>RUSSELL RANT <\/span><\/p>\n
