- Six more women have accused comedian Russell Brand of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour in a new report published by The Times and the Sunday Times.
- The fresh allegations emerge shortly after Brand began a 10-and-a-half-year prison sentence following his conviction at Southwark Crown Court for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
- Among the new accounts, one woman alleged Brand continued having sex with her despite her asking him to stop before later apologising, while another stated he ignored her pleas during an encounter in 2007.
- Publication of the allegations was withheld until the criminal trial concluded to avoid prejudicing legal proceedings, with half of the new accusers alleging Brand targeted them at his live shows.
- Brand's legal team failed to respond by an agreed deadline following the investigation, though he has previously denied all allegations of non-consensual behaviour.
