Russell Brand faces lawsuit for sexual assault

British actor-comedian Russell Brand was accused in a lawsuit filed on Friday (November 3) of sexually assaulting a film extra on the New York City set of the 2011 romantic comedy "Arthur," in which he starred as a boozing, philandering heir to a fortune. The suit follows a recent flurry of allegations reported in the British news media against the 48-year-old performer by several women accusing him of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior, some dating back 20 years.
