Police send Russell Brand case files to prosecutors after months-long probe
London police forwarded evidence to prosecutors in Russell Brand investigation after questioning him three times. The case involves multiple allegations of sexual misconduct spanning two decades
The Metropolitan Police has moved forward with its inquiry into Russell Brand‚ sending case files to the Crown Prosecution Service for review. The comedian (who is now 49) faced questioning on three separate occasions regarding alleged sex-related crimes
Law enforcement started their probe about a year ago after a woman reported an assault in central-london that happened around 20 years back. Since then six more women came forward with similar claims; however no arrests have been made yet
These allegations are astonishing and rather baroque ‚ claiming there was a serious agenda to silence him
The investigation started after media outlets exposed multiple accusations:
- Sexual assault claims
- Emotional abuse reports
- Inappropriate behavior at work
- Staff intimidation cases
Channel-4s internal review found they didnt properly handle a serious complaint from 09‚ while Banijay UK discovered some red-flags about his conduct with audience members that werent addressed. The BBC is still looking into claims that he exposed himself before a radio-show back in 08
The fall-out hit Brandʼs career hard — his youtube earnings stopped‚ publishers dropped him but he keeps posting on Rumble (a platform that refused MPs requests to block his income). Throughout everything Brand maintains all relationships were consensual and denies any wrong-doing
