Detectives are investigating a number of allegations of sexual assault in London against Russell Brand, more than a week after the bombshell report in which multiple women accused him of rape, sexual attacks and/or abuse. Brand was accused of raping, sexually assaulting and abusing four women over the course of seven years — including a 16-year-old he allegedly called “the child” — in a joint investigation by The Sunday Times of London, the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches published Sept. 16. Brand has asked fans to turn their moral support into financial support as he’s feeling the pinch. He urged his followers to fork over $60 annually to become paying subscribers on Rumble — a video app that is a rival of YouTube, and is committed to free speech. His request came just hours after London’s Metropolitan Police launched a full-scale investigation into “a number of allegations of sexual offenses” against Brand, who has vehemently denied them.
