UK police open investigation into alleged sexual offences after news reports about Russell Brand
As of now, no arrests have been made, and investigations are ongoing.
The Metropolitan Police detectives have initiated a formal inquiry into Russell Brand following the receipt of several allegations of sexual offenses from various locations across the UK.
The Met specified that they have received reports of incidents purported to have taken place in London.
The Metropolitan Police mentioned that they’ve also received reports of sexual offenses allegedly committed in other parts of the country, and they will be looking into these as well.
It’s important to note that all these incidents are reported to have occurred some time ago. Russell Brand strongly denies any wrongdoing.
Specialized assistance will be extended to all the women who have lodged allegations. The investigation is being conducted by detectives within the Metropolitan Police’s Central Specialist Crime Command, under the leadership of Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy.
Superintendent Furphy emphasized, “We persist in urging anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a sexual offense, regardless of when it occurred, to get in touch with us.”
“We acknowledge that coming forward may be a challenging decision, and I want to assure you that we have a dedicated team of expert officers ready to offer guidance and assistance.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and investigations are ongoing.
Anyone wishing to report an offense to the police can reach us at 101. In case of an emergency, always dial 999.”
This is a developing story that will be updated when more information is available.
