British actor and comedian Russell Brand has admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old when he was 30.The now 50-year-old was charged and pleaded not guilty last year to two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault against four women between 1999 and 2005.In February, he pleaded not guilty in a London court to two additional charges of rape and sexual assault nearly two decades ago.When asked about the allegations against him on The Megyn Kelly Show, Mr Brand described his actions as "exploitative" while also referring to the age of consent being 16 in the United Kingdom."Thank you, Megyn Kelly, for giving me the grace to address, in particular, your anger, which is entirely legitimate and recognisable," he said."And the plain fact of it is that in Europe and in the United Kingdom, where I'm from, the age of consent is 16, and I did sleep with a 16-year-old when I was 30."But when I was 30, I was a very different person I think it is exploitative," he said."I recognise that my sexual conduct in the past was selfish and I did not apply enough consideration, barely any, I suppose, really, to how that sex was affecting other people."What fame gave me and what my addiction fuelled was opportunity for endless consent, which led me to be a hedonist and a fool, and an exploiter of women, and that is wrong.Mr Brand was due to stand trial in June on five of the charges, before he was charged in December with the two additional offences.In March a London judge said a trial on Mr Brand's seven charges of rape and sexual assault relating to six women would start in October
