Advert enquiry
Police investigating sexual predator Russell Brand have said 'several' more people have come forward with information.
The shamed British actor and comedian , 51, was yesterday jailed for more than 10 years after being convicted of raping one of his fans and sexually assaulting three other women between 2004 and 2009.
After his conviction last week, it was revealed that two further rape allegations against Brand are already being investigated by detectives, and Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said he expects more victims to come forward.
The Met confirmed today that it is probing information from 'several people' who have come forward.
A spokesperson for the force said: 'Several people have contacted the investigation team during and since the trial to provide information or report a potential criminal allegation.
'Detectives are assessing this information as part of their ongoing enquiries.'
Last night, Brand's former girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith, 52, became the latest to publicly come forward, accusing the comic of 'violence, coercive control and abuse'.
She said she was so terrified after a 'violent incident' in 2014 that she called the police to remove him from her £15million Cotswolds mansion.
Brand could now face a second trial as police investigate a series of fresh allegations against him, with prosecutors expected to decide within weeks whether to bring two additional rape charges, one involving an alleged attack on a 16-year-old.
