Prosecutors are considering whether to bring charges against actor and comedian Russell Brand over allegations of sex abuse.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that the Metropolitan Police had passed on an evidence file regarding sex offence allegations against the 49-year-old.
It comes after a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed last year that four women had accused Brand of sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013.
The actor denies the accusations, and previously stated that all his sexual relationships were “absolutely always consensual”.
A spokesperson for the CPS said on Saturday: “We can confirm 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.”
