Russell Brand Convicted in London, Denied Bail as Two More Rape Accusations Surface

Russell Brand was convicted in a London criminal court on Thursday and denied bail by a judge. Following the conviction, authorities publicly described him as a“danger to women,”and two additional rape accusations have since emerged. The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating multiple rape allegations against the actor and comedian.

Police also stated that Brand had been previously interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations, meaning investigators had been building the case well before Thursday’s conviction. The denial of bail means Brand remains in custody as the legal process continues.

This is a developing story, and details are still coming in from London. We’ll continue to follow the court proceedings and any new statements from the Metropolitan Police as they’re released.
