THE House of Lords peer and reality TV contestant Lord Charles Brocket has been charged with rape and sexual assault.
Brocket appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Saturday after he was charged with two counts of rape in London on August 10 and one count of sexual assault by penetration in the village of Warbleton, East Sussex, on May 5, the Metropolitan police said.
All charges relate to the same woman, who cannot be identified because she is an alleged victim of sexual offences.
At the hearing Brocket, from Fulham, London, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, and address during the hearing.
The 73-year-old was arrested on Friday and was not asked to enter pleas to the charges, but denied all the allegations.
He was granted bail with conditions, including a GPS tag-monitored exclusion from coming within the M25, and that he must attend Isleworth Crown Court for the next hearing on September 26.
A Metropolitan police spokesperson said: “Brocket was arrested on Friday 29 August on suspicion of rape and charged on Saturday 30 August.
“The rape charges relate to an incident involving a woman that took place in the early hours of Saturday 10 August in Fulham. The matter was reported to police the same day.
“The sexual assault by penetration charge relates to an incident on Monday 5 May in Warbleton, East Sussex.
“The victim is being supported by specialist officers.”
Brocket finished fourth in the 2004 series of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
