Met police chief says ‘many more’ victims could come forward, as actor and comedian awaits sentencing

Police are bracing themselves for more victims of Russell Brand to come forward, with at least 10 more women suspected of having been attacked by the disgraced star.

Brand, 51, will be sentenced on Monday to what is expected to be a lengthy jail sentence for rape and sexual assaults after he abused his fame to become a “predator” targeting women, and got away with it for years.

Russell Brand insisted he had never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity as he faced rape and sexual assault allegations that would ultimately lead to his conviction.

Newly released police video obtained by Fox News Digital shows Brand defending his sexual history during questioning by London's Metropolitan Police.

In a December 2023 interview, Brand, now 51, sat alongside his attorney and delivered a lengthy prepared statement to detectives, maintaining that his encounters were consensual.

RUSSELL BRAND FOUND GUILTY OF ONE COUNT OF RAPE AND THREE COUNTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

"As I’ve repeatedly stated publicly … I led a very promiscuous life in the past, which I’ve spent years openly denouncing. I’ve never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity," Brand said.

He then criticized the September 2023 investigation by several media outlets, which first brought numerous allegations against him into the public spotlight.

Brand described the reporting as "defamatory and fictitious," suggesting encounters that had been consensual were later "invented or reimagined" as misconduct.

"At present, I don’t recall the names of the complainants or meeting them," he told investigators. "However, it’s entirely possible that I may have encountered them, and we may have engaged in consensual sexual activity, or physical contact."

Brand also described kissing hundreds of members of the public during press events, book signings and other public appearances.

"I did my best to be accessible and non-discriminatory and loving," he said. "I spent a lot of time at these events."

The actor acknowledged making provocative jokes and comments to people and occasionally asking casual sexual partners to leave shortly after an encounter.

RUSSELL BRAND ACCUSED OF RAPE, SEXUAL ABUSE OF 4 WOMEN; COMEDIAN DENIES ‘SERIOUS CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS’

But when detectives pressed him about specific allegations, Brand largely declined to elaborate, repeatedly telling officers he had "nothing further to add."

"I do not intend to respond to your questions without sufficient time to consider the information to answer accurately," he said.

The video was released Thursday, Nov. 5, following a jury's decision to find Brand guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

The actor denied the charges throughout the proceedings.

The comedian was taken into custody following the verdict and is due to be sentenced Monday, Nov. 9, at London's Southwark Crown Court, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Brand's legal troubles could extend beyond his four convictions.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that detectives are continuing to investigate rape allegations made by two additional women.

"The Met's investigation into allegations of rape made by two women remains ongoing," a spokesperson said. "The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations."

The spokesperson added that case files had been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service and that detectives remained in contact with prosecutors as further investigative work continued.

Brand faced three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault involving six women between 1999 and 2009 during his trial.

During the trial, Brand acknowledged being "reckless" and using his fame to pursue sexual relationships but maintained that the encounters were consensual. He told jurors that consent was "fundamental, essential and necessary."

Brand denied forcing any of the women to engage in sexual activity against their will.

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

The prospect of prison was already hanging over Brand weeks before the jury delivered its verdict.

During an Oct. 11 episode of "Sunday Service with The Brands," his wife, Laura Gallacher, read a message from a supporter who had spent five years in prison and offered the comedian words of encouragement.

"You will get through it … The presence of God is everywhere — in prison as well," one supporter wrote.

Brand immediately interrupted.

"I don’t like things where it’s like, you might have to go to prison," he told Laura.

"No, I know," she responded, acknowledging that incarceration was a possible outcome of the trial.

"That's the nature of what a trial is," Laura said.

Brand conceded that possibility.

"That’s one of the challenges," he replied.

The couple ended the episode by praying to God "for peace and love and for all the participants in this trial or any trial."

Several things are increasingly guaranteed from an English rugby perspective around this time of year. Bang on cue the injury news and the weather both start to worsen. Cracks in the relationship between the players and their head coach, in this case Steve Borthwick, begin to surface. And as the crowds stream up from Twickenham railway station past the biltong and burger stalls, no one has much idea what to expect.

This year it has been the same old story. Particularly on the injury front. If Tom Curry, Alex Mitchell and Archie McParland had not all been hurt on the Bagshot training pitch, all three would probably be in England’s matchday 23. With Guy Pepper, Benhard van Rensburg, Sam Underhill, Kepu Tuipulotu and Chandler Cunningham-South also out of the running, the squad is not quite as fizzing with energy and dynamism as it might be.

⚽ Premier League updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off
⚽ Today’s Football Daily | Live scores | Table | Mail Scott

To the excited chatter of playgrounds up and down the country members of a certain jaded generation, this fixture is a re-run of the 1987 General Motors FA Charity Shield. Coventry, who had won the FA Cup just nine weeks previously, took 35,000 fans to Wembley, a record for the season curtain-raiser, while Everton supporters, making their eighth appearance at the grand old pile in four years, were comparatively thin on the ground. But the latter were the ones who got to celebrate, Wayne Clarke scoring the only goal just before the break, while Kevin Ratcliffe popped Cov’s new £750,000 record signing David Speedie in his pocket. All the post-match talk was of Everton retaining their First Division title: they ended the season in fourth; City, hoping to build on their breakthrough cup win, finished tenth. Both clubs were slightly disappointed with those returns back then; they’d deal on them for this season, right here, right now.

David Moyes = Harry Catterick. Well, not quite: Top Catt did win two league titles (1963 and 1970) and Everton’s first FA Cup in 33 years (1966) after all. But in another way: yes! Our man Tom Garry reports.

With David Moyes tonight set to equal Harry Catterick’s all-time record of 592 matches in charge of Everton across his two spells at the club, his colleague, the Everton women’s team head coach Scott Phelan, has spoken of his fond memories of his role as a ball boy on the day of Moyes’ first match at the helm at Goodison Park in 2002.

Phelan, now aged 38, is a former Everton academy player and he said: “The opportunity to be a ball boy was a big thing. I think I was 14, 15 years of age. Just seeing the players close up, with the best seat in the house, was something I’ll always remember. The sense of occasion, the atmosphere and [Moyes] starting on a positive footing is what I remember.

“What he is about to achieve is really important in his own career but, for this club as well, he’s brought stability in his first and second phase. I have massive respect for him and what he has achieved here.

“He’s had an amazing career. Hopefully he can celebrate with a win.”

Worn by Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, Andy Burnham and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, fashion experts say the look radiates authority and no-nonsense masculinity

For years the black T-shirt was consigned to the clothing category of plain basics. A hidden layer rather than the main event. But modern politics has pushed it to the frontlines as a sartorial shortcut to signal power.

The progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who this week became the first Muslim elected to the US Senate in history, made a tight black T-shirt his signature look throughout his year-long campaign trail. Styling it with jeans and friendship bracelets made by his children, El-Sayed described his attire as “minimal look, maximal politics”.
