The media personality Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse during a seven-year period at the height of his fame.
The allegations were the result of a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.
The actor and comedian had already moved to deny what he called “very serious criminal allegations” on Friday night. In a video posted online, Brand said he had received correspondence from a media company and a newspaper detailing the claims; this is standard practice for journalists preparing to report serious allegations about a named entity.
