Convicted rapist Russell Brand has been accused of sexual misconduct by six more women.

The claims were made in a new report published by The Times and The Sunday Times on Thursday evening, just days after Brand was sentenced for serve more than 10 years in prison for rape and sexual assault. They span a decade, from 2005 to 2015.

One woman said she was in her 30s when she crossed paths with the “Get Him to the Greek” actor. They had an on-and-off relationship in the early 2000s that began with a work meeting at his London home, she added. She went on to recall an incident during which she tried to refuse sex with Brand because she realized he had not been wearing a condom at the time.

“He was very close, on top of me, and sort of pushing — but I knew he didn’t have a condom on and I said, ‘No, stop’, and I started to sort of try and move. And … that wasn’t happening,” she said

She added that Brand twice apologized after, once in person and then again over text.

A second woman said she met Brand in 2007, when she was 19 years old. She and a friend lined up to meet him after a comedy show, and she went on to spend some time alone with the actor afterwards. She said that when they later had sex, she told him it was painful and asked him to stop, but he refused.

“My body wasn’t ready for this and it was painful,” she said. “An uneasy wave hits me and I’m scared. And 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.”

She added: “It was just like he … just wasn’t present.”

In 2013, a fan encountered Brand after he played The Chapel in San Francisco. He invited her to his hotel, where “he basically sort of just grabbed me and manhandled me around a little bit and he put his hand on my throat,” she told The Times, adding that he then forced his hand down her pants.

 

“I didn’t resist. I just sort of let it happen,” she said.

Another woman, who worked at a London business Brand visited in 2015, said she was pulled aside by a member of his staff, who told her: “Russell wants you. He’s in the disabled toilets.” She said the lights were off when she went in and that Brand grabbed at her as she tried to pass him. He claimed he’d been searching for toilet paper at the time.

A fifth woman, then in her mid-twenties, said Brand approached her in 2005 at a music festival and told her: “Please I just need to have sex with you, I will pay you.”

Brand was also accused of misconduct by a woman who won the BBC 6 Music competition in 2006, and then appeared as a guest on his show. She alleged the comedian demanded she lick a toilet seat at his home at one point during their subsequent relationship.

“[He] seemed pissed off that I wouldn’t let him humiliate me,” she said.

Earlier this month, Brand was was convicted on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison. It followed a weeks-long trial at Southwark Crown Court in London, which covered crimes committed against four women between 2004 and 2009.

Brand has not responded to the new allegations against him.
