Katherine Ryan says she feels 'grief and relief' after Russell Brand conviction

Brand is now also being investigated over further rape allegations made by two women, police have now said.

Details in legal documents from a hearing at London's Southwark Crown Court before Brand's criminal trial began suggest that one of the women was 16 years old at the time and featured in a Channel 4 documentary.

Brand was accused by four women of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse in a joint Channel 4 Dispatches, Times and Sunday Times investigation in September 2023.

The actor and comedian denied the allegations.

None of the women who featured in the media investigation were the complainants from Brand's criminal trial.
