Police have asked prosecutors to consider bringing charges against Russell Brand. The disgraced comic has been interviewed by cops three times since a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, The Times, and 'Dispatches' in September 2023 uncovered multiple allegations of historical emotional and sexual abuse, including rape, against the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star, and now a file of evidence has been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to see if the claims will be taken further. The Metropolitan Police confirmed they had had received a number of reports of sexual offences from women following the original investigation.
They added: "A man in his 40s had been interviewed by officers under caution on three separate occasions. "A file of evidence has now been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for their consideration." And the CPS confirmed they had been handed a file to consider charges in relation to allegations of historical sex offences.
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, whose team is leading the investigation, said: "We have a team of dedicated officers providing specialist support to the women who have come forward." "We are committed to investigating sexual offences, no matter how long ago they are alleged to have taken place. Russell - who has three children with wife Laura Gallacher and was married to Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012 - previously said it was"very, very painful" to be accused of what he "considers to be the most appalling crimes".
