Six more women have come forward with fresh allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behavior against jailed British comedian Russell Brand, following his recent conviction for rape and sexual assault.
According to a report by The Times of London, the new accusations include claims of non-consensual sex, ignoring a partner’s pleas to stop during painful intercourse in 2007, and attempting to pull a London venue worker into a disabled toilet in 2015.
Brand, 51, who has consistently denied all allegations of non-consensual behavior and maintained during his four-week trial that his conduct was “awful but lawful,” was described by sentencing judge Mr Justice Bennathan as a “sexual predator” whose fame had shielded him until media investigations exposed his conduct in 2023.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that several individuals lodged fresh criminal reports against the comedian during the course of his trial, and officers are currently assessing the new complaints.
