Six more women accuse Russell Brand of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour

Six more women have accused Russell Brand of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour, with allegations spanning roughly a decade. The claims include continuing sex after being asked to stop, coercive behaviour and assault; they have not been tested in court and were previously withheld over concerns about prejudicing criminal proceedings.

Brand was found guilty last week of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others, and was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison. He is being held at HMP Wandsworth and is reportedly being considered for transfer to high-security HMP Wakefield, where prison officials are said to believe stronger staffing may offer greater protection; he could initially be kept apart from other inmates.
