Met Police Probe New Allegations Against Russell Brand After 10‑Year Prison Sentence
Met Police are investigating new criminal allegations against Russell Brand following his 10‑year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault.
POLICY WIRE — London, UK — The Metropolitan Police are probing additional potential criminal allegations against comedian Russell Brand, who was handed a sentence of more than ten years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
Police say dozens of people reached out to the force during and after Brand’s trial and sentencing, offering information that could add to the already‑existing investigation of two separate rape claims.
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, who led the original inquiry, has urged anyone who may have been victimized by the 51‑year‑old to come forward as the Met continues to review the material gathered through its dedicated team set up after Channel 4’s Dispatches and major newspapers highlighted the allegations in September 2023.
