Six more women have come forward with allegations of predatory behaviour and sexual misconduct against Russell Brand, according to reports in The Times and the Sunday Times.
The 51-year-old comedian was sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison on Monday after being found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. Following the sentencing, police confirmed that additional women had come forward, and prosecutors are assessing whether to bring further charges.
New Allegations Detailed
According to the Daily Mail, detectives are examining new allegations, while prosecutors are also expected to decide within weeks whether to bring further charges against Brand over two separate alleged rapes, including one involving a 16-year-old girl.
The Times and the Sunday Times have now revealed claims that Brand apologised after having sex with a woman without her consent. Another woman alleged that she told Brand he was hurting her during sex and asked him to stop, but he continued. She claimed he later told her: 'Tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn't want to do.'
Investigation Ongoing
Those involved are said to have contacted the publications after the Channel 4 Dispatches series aired, following a joint investigation with the outlets.
A police spokesperson previously said: 'The Met's investigation into allegations of rape made by two women remains ongoing. The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations. Files have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to both complainants. Detectives remain in close contact with prosecutors as inquiries continue and further investigative work is carried out.'
