Six More Women Accuse Russell Brand of Sexual Misconduct

Russell Brand has been accused of sexual misconduct by six additional women in accounts published after his criminal trial ended. The allegations, reported as spanning 2005 to 2015, include claims of unwanted touching, coercive conduct and sexual activity that continued after women asked him to stop. They have not been tested in court.

Brand was convicted of one rape and three sexual assaults involving four women and sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison. He was acquitted of two further rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. The new allegations are separate from the charges decided at trial, and no further convictions have been reported in connection with them.

The accounts include a woman who said Brand continued having sex with her after she objected to his not using a condom, then apologised in person and by text. Another woman said she asked him to stop during sex because she was in pain, but he continued. Other allegations describe unwanted sexual touching, an attempt to humiliate a woman, and an encounter at a London venue where a staff member allegedly directed a worker to a darkened disabled toilet, where Brand grabbed her.
