Russell Brand faces fresh police probe after at least EIGHT more women accuse him of sexual abuse and predatory behaviour

Russell Brand is being investigated by police after at least eight women have accused him of sexual abuse and predatory behaviour, the Mail can reveal.

The 51-year-old, who is serving a 10-year sentence for rape and sexual assault, now faces the prospect of a second trial after a number of new alleged victims have come forward.

Detectives are assessing information from more than half a dozen new complainants, who have come forward following his conviction last week of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

Police are also doing final work on files of evidence submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to claims from two further women, including an allegation that he raped a 16-year-old.

Yesterday, new allegations of abuse emerged from a former girlfriend who accused Brand of sexually assaulting her and making her brush her teeth until they bled.

The Times also published details from six other women, including allegations that Brand had sex with a woman without her consent, and continued having sex with another victim after she asked him to stop because he was hurting her.

In a new Netflix documentary, former girlfriend Jordan Martin has claimed that Brand sexually assaulted her during a fit of jealous rage.

During their relationship when she was 26, she said she was in 'a vulnerable place', having just split up with her husband. 

Brand (pictured) was sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison for rape and three counts of sexual assault on Monday 

Now, at least eight more women have come forward and accused the former comedian of sexual abuse and predatory behaviour, including his ex-girlfriend Jordan Martin (pictured in a new Netflix documentary)

She said: 'He wanted me to taste anonymous. He didn't want me to be familiar to him. And so he was asking me to brush my teeth.

'But it just was never enough. And so he's standing over me, and I'm brushing and I'm brushing, and I see my teeth bleeding.'

On another occasion, Ms Martin described being in a hotel in the UK with Brand when she spoke on the phone to a former partner to arrange for him to pick up his belongings.

When Brand discovered who she had been speaking to, Ms Martin said: 'He snatched my phone out my hand and like broke it apart into pieces. So, I kind of snatched the phone back and went into a separate room.'

She went on, tearfully: 'He walked in, he didn't say anything. He put his hand down the front of my jeans, and he inserted a finger, and then walked away.'

On another occasion Brand allegedly told her she was dressing 'like an attention-seeking slut' and accused her of flirting with crew members after he invited her on a film set in Hawaii 'to stop him from trying it on with people'.

Six other women have spoken anonymously to the Times.

Among those to speak out is an employee given the pseudonym Alex, who first met Brand during a professional meeting at his London home in the late 2000s.

Ms Martin claimed in a new Netflix documentary that Brand made her brush her teeth until they bled 

Then in her 30s, she described how the comedian initially charmed her by acting like a 'needy besotted puppy' before they began an on-off relationship.

But she claims his behaviour became increasingly controlling and they once had sex without her consent after she asked him to stop because he was not wearing a condom.

She alleges that Brand ignored her protests and continued despite her attempts to move away, adding that she did not want to physically resist because she feared how he might react.

After the incident, Brand allegedly apologised both in person and by text message to her.

We speak to the detective who brought down Russell Brand

Hi, I'm Alex Matthews, Editor of The Crime Desk.

Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape and three sexual assaults - and our reporters Caroline Cheetham and Liz Hull were in court every day to witness it all. They sat down with Detective Inspector Laura Nelson who revealed why the women who accused him in the infamous documentary were not involved in his rape trial.

Five women have claimed Brand made them brush their teeth, including the 21-year-old victim Brand was convicted of anally raping.

Another woman, identified as Vicky, claims Brand continued having sex with her despite her repeatedly begging him to stop because she was in pain.

The 19-year-old first met the comedian after attending one of his gigs in 2007, where he allegedly singled her out from a crowd of fans.

The pair subsequently began a sexual relationship, but Vicky claims Brand's behaviour became increasingly degrading during their encounters.

She alleges that during their final meeting, Brand began having sex with her on a sofa at his rented accommodation despite her protests.

'I say, "It's painful" and he doesn't stop. And then it gets worse and it's really painful. And I say "stop" and he doesn't stop,' Vicky said.

'And it was just like he … just wasn't present.'

Vicky remembers Brand telling her: 'I want you to be louder so she can hear.'

A woman then emerged from the bedroom and performed a sex act on Brand, she claimed.

Afterwards, Vicky said Brand appeared to issue a warning, telling her: 'Tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn't want to do.'

Deeply distressed, she said: 'I didn't want to remember the fairy tale of meeting him that then turned into an utter nightmare.'

A third woman also claims the comedian grabbed her by the throat and sexually assaulted her in a hotel room, while another alleges he attempted to pull her into a disabled lavatory at a London venue as recently as 2015.

At the time Brand was in a relationship with Laura Brand, now his wife.

Three of the six women were approached by Brand at his own performances, where he would reportedly single out female fans and arrange for members of his entourage to obtain their telephone numbers.

Some women have felt unable to go to the police, although one of the six women did make a complaint which did not lead to charges.

Brand has previously denied any wrongdoing and claimed all his relationships were consensual.

Brand has launched a fightback from behind bars, with supporters organising a petition for him to be freed, which has been signed by more than 17,000 people.

The sexual predator's X account was shut down the day after his sentence, but it was later reinstated with supporters crediting X owner Elon Musk for the decision.

Hours later, a YouTube clip was posted on Brand's account from US commentator Matt Walsh spinning a bizarre conspiracy theory that Brand's prison sentence was a 'political hit job' to silence him after Brand 'betrayed the Left' with his outlandish claims about Covid.
