Police ask prosecutors to consider charging Russell Brand over sexual assault claims

The historic allegations, which Brand has denied, date back to 2006-13 when he was a radio and TV presenter

Detectives investigating historic allegations of sexual assault against Russell Brand have asked prosecutors to consider bringing charges against the actor and comedian.

It follows a joint investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and the Sunday Times, published in September 2023, in which four women accused Brand of offences including rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse.
