S3X OFFENSES: Met Police say actor Russel Brand is still being considered for prosecution
British security operatives have informed that popular English podcaster and media personality Russel Brand is still being considered for prosecution over alleged s3x offenses.
This was made known in a statement issued by Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, who disclosed that the Met police is still very much involved in the case despite already recommending that the Crown Prosecution Service should prosecute Brand.
“Our investigation continues, and a file has now been passed to the CPS,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “We have a team of dedicated officers providing specialist support to the women who have come forward.”
The law enforcement official added that they are dedicated to looking into both recent and old allegations made against the actor and other s3xual offenders.

He added, “We are committed to investigating sexual offenses, no matter how long ago they are alleged to have taken place.”
Four women claimed in September 2023 that Brand had s3xually assaulted or raped them between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his stardom, according to reports carried by British media sources Channel 4 and the Sunday Times.
Another woman who accused Brand informed BBC News, a partner network of CBS News, that she was working in the same building as the BBC’s Los Angeles office at the time of the event. She claimed that shortly after, Brand made fun of it on his radio show.
