Russell Brand: A Second Police Unit, Thames Valley Police, Investigates Further Allegations

In response to allegations against the comedian, Russell Brand is the subject of an investigation by a second police force.

Document Women earlier reported on BBC's investigation into the comedian, in which they stated that "The documentary and associated reports contained serious allegations, spanning a number of years. Russell Brand worked on BBC radio programmes between 2006 and 2008 and we are urgently looking into the issues raised."

According to Thames Valley Police, a lady who had "new information" on reports of "harassment and stalking" had been in touch with the force two weeks ago.

Before this, the Metropolitan Police acknowledged receiving "a number of allegations of sexual offenses."

During seven years at the height of his success, Brand has been charged with rape and sexual assault.

The claims were made in a collaborative investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches, the Sunday Times, and the Times.

According to the BBC, the woman repeatedly reported her accusations to Thames Valley Police between 2018 and 2022, but nothing else happened.

In 2017, Mr Brand also charged the woman with harassing him.

Although the force acknowledged that it was looking into the new material, it added that commenting on an ongoing investigation would be inappropriate.

Brand has been contacted by the BBC to address these allegations.

The comedian and actor has previously refuted the "very serious criminal allegations" and "extremely egregious and aggressive attacks".

Russell Brand - In Plain Sight, a Dispatches program, featured four women who accused Brand of sexual assault between 2006 and 2013.

Brand worked at a number of places during that time, including Channel 4 and BBC Radio 2.

He was accused of acting inappropriately at work and exhibiting predatory and domineering behaviour, according to the report, which aired on September 16.

The 48-year-old said that he has "always" engaged in consensual relationships.

Brand live-streamed a video on Rumble in response to the accusations of "non-recent" sexual offences that were reported to the Met in September.

While criticizing the mainstream media, the actor and comedian avoided explicitly addressing the accusations made against him.

He claimed that the state and legacy media were making an "apparent concerted effort to silence independent voices."

Four women made charges against Brand in the investigation by the Sunday Times, Times, and Channel 4 between 2006 and 2013.

These are the allegations against Brand:

1. One woman alleges he raped her without a condom against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She says Brand tried to stop her from leaving until she told him she was going to the bathroom. She was reportedly treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, which the Times says it has confirmed via medical records

1. A second woman, in the UK, alleges Brand assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still at school. She alleges he referred to her as "the child" during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. Looking back, she says he "engaged in the behaviours of a groomer"

1. A third woman claims Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles. She alleges she repeatedly told Brand to get off her, and when he eventually relented he "flipped" and was "super angry". She says he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation

1. A fourth woman alleges being sexually assaulted by Brand in the UK and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her

Brand gave a comedy performance at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre in north-west London on the same day the Dispatches charges were made, alluding to them but avoiding a direct response.

He admitted to the audience that there were several topics he wanted to discuss but was unable to.

The remainder of his Bipolarisation tour dates were rescheduled for the following Monday.
