Thames Valley Police has confirmed that Russell Brand is now under investigation for a second time, following fresh allegations of harassment and stalking. A woman approached the police two weeks ago with new information, claiming incidents dating back to 2018.

The police, responsible for Henley-On-Thames where Brand resides and owns a pub, are currently reviewing the new information. They have refrained from commenting further, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

This comes in the wake of the Metropolitan Police’s acknowledgment of multiple non-recent allegations of sexual offences against Brand, spanning locations in London and beyond. A joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4’s Dispatches has revealed accusations of rape, sexual assault, and misconduct by four women between 2006 and 2013, during Brand’s peak fame.

Brand vehemently denies these allegations. Despite the seriousness of the claims, he has not been charged with any offence. The unfolding situation has also prompted the BBC to examine a woman’s allegations of indecent exposure by Brand during his Radio 2 show, an accusation he rejects, asserting that his past relationships were consensual.
