Russell Brand has been accused of sexual misconduct by six more women, in a new investigation published by The Times and The Sunday Times, days after the comedian was jailed for rape and sexual assault.

The alleged incidents took place between 2005 and 2015. The women spoke to the newspaper before his trial ended, but their accounts could not be published while proceedings were under way.

What the six women allege

One woman, identified only as Alex, alleged that Brand had sex with her without a condom despite her repeatedly asking him to stop, and later apologised in person and by text. Another, Vicky, who met Brand at a show in 2007 when she was 19, alleged that he continued after she told him she was in pain and asked him to stop.

A third woman, Zoe, alleged that Brand sexually assaulted her after a performance in San Francisco in 2013, while Louise alleged that he tried to force her into a disabled toilet at a London venue where she worked in 2015. Two further women, Georgia and Rosie, described alleged coercive and humiliating sexual encounters.

The allegations have not been tested in court. Brand has previously denied sexual wrongdoing and maintained that his relationships were consensual, and his lawyer did not respond to The Times before its publication deadline.

Brand, 51, was sentenced on Monday 9 November to 10 years and six months after a jury at Southwark Crown Court convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against four women between 2004 and 2009. Judge Joel Bennathan described him as a "sexual predator". The Metropolitan Police said several more people had contacted detectives during and after the trial, although it has not been confirmed whether the six women are among them.
