LONDON: The Metropolitan Police released interview footage of actor and comedian Russell Brand on Thursday after a jury convicted him of rape and three sexual assaults.
A Southwark Crown Court jury found Brand, 51, guilty of offences against four women between 2004 and 2009. However, jurors acquitted him of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.
Police confirmed that they are investigating separate rape allegations from two additional women. Detectives previously questioned Brand under caution about those allegations.
They have since submitted both case files to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Meanwhile, officers released footage from four police interviews conducted between November 2023 and July 2025.

In two recordings, Brand reads prepared statements disputing allegations raised in a 2023 documentary. He described subsequent accusations about other encounters as “invented or reimagined”.
The investigation followed reporting by Channel 4’s “Dispatches”, The Times and The Sunday Times in September 2023. Brand has maintained his innocence and denied engaging in non-consensual sexual activity.
According to police, the offences occurred at several locations, including a radio station, a DVD recording set and Brand’s home.
Following Thursday’s verdict, the judge remanded Brand in custody and warned that he faced a substantial prison sentence. The court will sentence Brand on Monday, November 9.
