London’s Metropolitan Police said Monday they were investigating an allegation of sexual assault in 2003, after a joint investigation into the comedian and actor Russell Brand by three British media outlets was published Saturday.
The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4’s “Dispatches” published an investigation in which four women alleged Brand sexually assaulted them in separate instances between 2006 and 2013. One of the women said she was 16 and Brand was 31 at the time of the alleged assault in London. Without naming the British comedian – who denies the allegations – a Met spokesperson said on Monday: “We are aware of reporting by The Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches about allegations of sexual offenses.
” Media companies launch investigations The claims against Brand – who was a prominent figure on multiple UK television channels during the period in which the alleged assaults occurred – have spurred media companies that formerly employed Brand to launch internal investigations. A BBC spokesperson said Sunday: “The documentary and associated reports contained serious allegations, spanning a number of years.
