Police have reportedly received "multiple reports" of sexual abuse against Russell Brand since he was sentenced yesterday for raping one woman and assaulting three others, according to the Daily Mail.
On Monday, Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison and will be on the sex offenders register for life. The sentence followed his conviction for raping a woman in 2009 and sexually assaulting three other women between 2004 and 2009.
Judge's remarks at sentencing
Mr Justice Bennathan described Brand as a "sexual predator" who displayed "staggering arrogance" and told a "series of lies". He imposed a nine-year jail term for the rape and added an extra year and a half for the sexual assaults.
The judge said: "About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous, you were clever, and in many people's eyes you were funny and charismatic. You had also become a sexual predator."
The judge also said the evidence showed that Brand's entourage during his celebrity heyday had "indulged your dreadful behaviour". He added that Brand harboured a "casual arrogant disregard to any woman's right to say no to you", while his fame meant he believed "you could act when you liked and how you liked".
Victim accounts in court
One of the victims called Brand "a sexual predator who has no remorse for how his behaviour has impacted my life".
The rape victim told the court she was a big fan of Brand before going to see him at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009, where she was picked out of the crowd to join him backstage. She willingly engaged in a threesome at the venue and then agreed to visit Brand's £2.3 million townhouse in Hampstead Village to have sex.
She said the encounter turned into rape when Brand had anal sex with her, ignored her pleas for him to stop, and pinned her down so she was struggling to breathe.
Other assault convictions
Brand was also convicted of sexually assaulting a female Channel 4 worker during a recording session in 2009, shortly after he had started dating Katy Perry. The woman, working alone with Brand and his entourage, was forced to massage the star when he threatened to derail the recording session, at which point he knelt down and thrust his head into her groin.
The jury found Brand guilty last Thursday of sexually assaulting an MTV worker in a Soho bar in 2004 during a birthday party, where he grabbed the woman's breasts within seconds of meeting her.
He was also found guilty of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker when she bumped into him in a corridor in 2005. She told the court Brand kissed her "sloppily", groped her body, and just laughed when she eventually managed to push him away.
