British police say assessing further reports about Russell Brand
Detectives are assessing several reports and potential criminal allegations after Brand’s conviction, as two more women have also accused him of rape.
- On Monday, comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison at Southwark Crown Court after being convicted of one count of rape and three sexual assaults committed between 2004 and 2009.
- Sentencing Brand, Judge Joel Bennathan described the 51-year-old as a "sexual predator" with "staggering arrogance," stating he abused his celebrity to prey on women believing "fame meant you could act how you liked, when you liked, unhindered by the rules by which decent people live."
- The Metropolitan Police are currently "triaging" several new reports from people who have come forward since the trial, with detectives assessing whether allegations constitute criminal offenses as more victims are expected to surface.
- Following the sentencing, former partner Jemima Goldsmith publicly accused Brand of "violence, coercive control and abuse," while Prime Minister Andy Burnham promised to be "relentless in making whatever improvements" to support victims.
- Dame Caroline Dinenage has reiterated concerns about Brand's ability to earn income on social media platforms throughout the trial, calling it an "issue" that victims lacked the same opportunity to present their side.
