He has vehemently denied the allegations. Picture date: Saturday SeptemSenior British politicians on Monday urged police to investigate sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand, as the U.K.Brand deniesin a Channel 4 television documentary and The Times and Sunday Times newspapers.
Conservative legislator Caroline Nokes, who chairs the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee, urged police in both Britain and the United States to investigate the "incredibly shocking" allegations. The allegations reported by the newspapers and Channel 4 cover the period between 2006 and 2013, when Brand was a major star in Britain with a growing U.S. profile.
The BBC, Channel 4 and the production company behind the "Big Brother" reality series – spinoffs of which were hosted by Brand -- all say they have launched investigations into Brand’s behavior and how complaints were handled. Victims and the media also have to take account of Britain’s claimant-friendly libel laws, which put the burden of proof on those making allegations.
