Tuesday, November 5, 2024 - British comedian, Russell Brand is reportedly being considered for prosecution over Historic S3x Offenses.
The revelation comes months after a Met police inquiry into the
49-year-old comedian.
During the period, Russell Brand was quizzed three times with regards to
the accusations made by women he was reportedly involved with between 2006 and
2013.
After a 13-month inquiry, the Met police have recommended that Brand be
charged with historic sex offenses based on recent accusations from multiple
women he was involved with at the height of his Hollywood fame.
During the period of the inquiry, the actor was interviewed by the
authorities on different occasions to ascertain details about his involvement
with his alleged victims.
According to the Daily Mail, the first meet-up was said to
have been done under caution on November 16, 2023, with Brand being quizzed
over three s3x offense claims.
Brand also came in voluntarily for the interview after the accusations.
He was invited a second time on December 14, 2023, about six other
historical sex offenses. Brand was then asked to come in for another interview
session in January of this year.
It is unclear how long each interview lasted and whether Brand
attended them with his lawyer or went in alone.
According to Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, the Met police is
still very much involved in the case despite already recommending that the
Crown Prosecution Service should prosecute Brand.
"Our investigation continues, and a file has now been passed to the
CPS," he said, per the Daily Mail. "We have a team of
dedicated officers providing specialist support to the women who have come
forward."
The law enforcement officer also mentioned that they are committed to
investigating both old and new accusations against the actor and other
perpetrators of s3xual offenses.
He added, "We are committed to investigating sexual offenses, no
matter how long ago they are alleged to have taken place."
If the CPS agrees to bring charges against Brand, he might be arrested
and detained as the case would likely be tried as a criminal case.
The accusations against Brand resulted from an investigation conducted
by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times.
At least four women who were subject of the investigation accused the
"Despicable Me 2" actor of sexual assault and r@pe.
