Decoding Russell Brand Sex Case: UK police probe multiple sex assault claims following his revelations

The British Police said on Monday (September 25) that it received multiple sex offence allegations following news reports about British actor and comedian Russell Brand. Four women accused Brand, 48, of a string of sexual assaults. The accusations came to light following a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 television which went public on September 16.

In a statement on Monday, London’s Metropolitan Police said, “Following an investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times, the Met has received a number of allegations of sexual offences in London.”

Police in London said early last week that they had received a report of alleged sexual assault following the revelations. In an update Monday, the Met said that it has since received a “number of allegations of sexual offences in London” as well as elsewhere in the UK.

The force added in a short statement that all the allegations were non-recent and there have been no arrests. “We continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a sexual offence, no matter how long ago it was, to contact us,” Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy said. “We understand it can feel like a difficult step to take and I want to reassure that we have a team of specialist officers available to advise and support.”

Russell Brand sent BBC to pick up 16-year-old accuser from school

Firstpost earlier reported on how sex addict Russell Brand sent BBC car to pick me up from school, says 16-year-old accuser

According to reports, Russell Brand ‘used a BBC chauffeur to pick up teenage girl from school’ as another alleged victim claims comic ‘raped her weeks before starring as Willy Wonka at London Olympics closing ceremony’

The girl, who has been referred to as Alice, has told the SundayTimes that Russell assaulted her when he was 31 and she was 16. In the report, she alleged that in the emotionally abusive relationship that lasted three months, the comedian used to call her “the child.”

Russell Brand continues to deny allegation

Brand has denied the allegations, saying his relationships have always been “consensual”, even during a period when he admitted being “very, very promiscuous”.

During his regular online video platform show Brand said Monday he would talk about the “collusion between big tech and government and an apparent concerted effort by legacy media… to silence independent media voices”.

“Obviously, it’s difficult for me to be entirely objective given the events of the last week, but that’s what we must try to do,” he added, without directly addressing the new police update.

Katy Perry know the ‘real truth’ about Russell Brand’s sex assault case years before the expose

Katy Perry previously seemingly dropped a hint about undisclosed aspects of Russell Brand’s life, claiming she knew the “real truth” about him, years before sexual abuse allegations against him emerged.

In a 2013 Vogue interview, which has resurfaced amid the ongoing controversy around Brand, Perry discussed her marriage with the comedian, describing it as controlling and hurtful. Netizens are referring to the magazine interview in which Katy hinted at the “real truth” about him. Katy Perry revealed that she was deeply in love with Russell Brand when they got married in India on October 23, 2010. However, their relationship lasted just 14 months, ending with a breakup text from him on New Year’s Eve in 2011. Initially, the “Roar” singer blamed herself for the breakup, until she discovered what she calls the “real truth” about him.
