Two additional rape allegations against Russell Brand have been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service, exposing him to possible new charges days after his conviction.
Brand was found guilty on November 5 of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault after a three-week trial; the 12-person jury deliberated 8 hours 30 minutes and acquitted him on three other charges.
The Metropolitan Police said Brand had already been interviewed under caution on the new complaints, and lead detective Andy Furphy urged other potential victims to come forward as the investigation remains live.
The wider probe began in 2023 after a Sunday Times, Times and Dispatches investigation; police said they reviewed more than 1,000 documents and spoke to more than 100 witnesses.
Brand was denied bail and remanded in custody ahead of November 9 sentencing, with a senior solicitor telling Page Six he could face roughly 8 to 9 years in prison.
