Russell Brand is under investigation by London police concerning fresh allegations of sex attacks involving two women. One of the accusers claims she was 16 years old and still in school when she dated the actor, who is now 51. The age of consent in England is 16.
Metropolitan Police confirmed that the investigation into the rape claims made by these two women is ongoing. Brand has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations. Files related to both complainants have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, and police are in close contact with prosecutors as inquiries continue and further investigative work is conducted.
The actor, known for films such as "Get Him to the Greek," faces these new allegations as part of a broader inquiry into previous claims. The New York Post reported on the investigation, citing information from The Sun and pre-trial hearing details.
