Met Police boss 'wouldn't be surprised' if more allegations made about Brand

Speaking to the BBC on Friday, Sir Mark said that he "wouldn't be surprised if more people came forward" about Brand and said there were "two ongoing rape investigations" into him.

Brand has already been interviewed under caution in relation to those allegations.

In his interview Sir Mark praised the "bravery" of the women who came forward to tell "their story" to the police and during the trial.

"That's a real challenge for anyone having gone through something so ghastly and you have to admire them."

The head of the Met also said that whilst Brand's case "may look different because it's about celebrity, the majority of sex offending is about people abusing power", adding that victims will be believed.
