Convicted rapist Russell Brand is facing fresh allegations of predatory behaviour and committing sexual offences, after six new accusers went public on Friday.
A London court earlier this week jailed Brand for a decade, after he was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
He was cleared of four other charges, including two of rape, one of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault.
Brand's four-week trial made global headlines and heard from six women who had made criminal complaints about the former actor and comedian.
On Friday, local time, The Times newspaper published a report that detailed fresh allegations from six new accusers.
The Times and UK broadcaster Channel 4 were the first media outlets to publish allegations against Brand in 2023, and their reporting led several women to go to the police with their evidence.
Several of the women claim they met the former star after attending his stand-up shows.
During Brand's trial, the court heard evidence he had used these live performances as a way of pursuing women.
