Brand has made a lot of enemies out of powerful people with his political commentary. Assange did the same thing and IIRC, he was also accused of rape.

Actually Assange was charged with rape for failing to take an STD test after consensual sex, the 'victim' came at him awhile after the one night stand.

IIRC, the media then blew it up and that started the extradition process that lead him into hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy for a bunch of years.
