Brand says he had a 16-year-old encounter that was consensual but exploitative
TL;DR Summary
Russell Brand told Megyn Kelly that he slept with a 16-year-old when he was 30, calling the encounter consensual but exploitative due to a power imbalance; he notes the age of consent in the UK/Europe is 16 and says he was an immature, younger man at the time. This comes amid 2023 rape allegations against Brand which he denies, with a UK rape trial anticipated later this year.
