Russell Brand and are considering whether to charge him.The Crown Prosecution Service said late Saturday that “we have been passed a file by the police to consider a charging decision in this case.

Any decision to charge is made independently, based on the evidence and in line with our legal test.”Detectives from London’s Metropolitan Police force have interviewed 49-year-old Brand three times over “non-recent sexual offenses.”“Our investigation continues and a file has now been passed to the CPS,” said Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, who is leading the investigation. “We have a team of dedicated officers providing specialist support to the women who have come forward.

We are committed to investigating sexual offenses, no matter how long ago they are alleged to have taken place.”In September 2023, British media outlets Channel 4 and the Sunday Times published claims by four women of being sexually assaulted or raped by Brand between 2006 and 2013, at the height of his fame.
