Amid his ongoing legal battles over extensive rape and sexual assault claims, Russell Brand has confessed to having “exploitative,” consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.

The disgraced actor and comedian, best known for his roles on Big Brother’s Big Mouth and in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is currently awaiting trial over allegations from six women, who allege crimes dating from 1999 to 2009. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, and his June trial was pushed back to this October just last month.
