Six more women have accused Russell Brand of sexual misconduct, The Times reported on Thursday. The allegations, from incidents between 2005 and 2015, came days after Brand was jailed for 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault.
The Times said its reporters interviewed the six women before Brand’s trial began, but the accounts could not be published while proceedings were under way. The paper said it took extensive steps to corroborate the claims and did not pay any of the sources.
The allegations include claims that Brand had sex with women without their consent and continued after they asked him to stop. One woman said he had sex with her without a condom despite her repeated requests. Another said he forced his hand down her trousers at a hotel in San Francisco in 2013.
Brand has not responded to the new allegations. He has previously denied wrongdoing and said all his relationships were consensual.
Brand, 51, was found guilty on November 5 at Southwark Crown Court of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, and sentenced on November 9. London’s Metropolitan Police said detectives were assessing further information from people who contacted investigators during and after the trial.
