## Summary

The Metropolitan Police are assessing new information from several people who contacted them during or after Russell Brand’s trial and sentencing, to determine whether it points to further criminal offences. The enquiries follow Brand’s conviction for rape and sexual assault, and come as police are already investigating rape allegations made by two other women.

Brand was sentenced on Monday to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of offences against four women between 2004 and 2009. Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy said the women who testified had faced distress from the media attention and that police continue to support them. MP Dame Caroline Dinenage also raised concerns that Brand could post videos to millions of followers during the investigation and trial, while the women did not have the same platform.
