Russell Brand has been interviewed under caution by the Metropolitan Police over allegations of sexual offences, it has been reported today.

It comes after four women alleged in a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches that the comedian and TV and radio presenter sexually assaulted them between 2006 and 2013.

Brand, 48, has denied the allegations against him and said his relationships were “always consensual”.

The Metropolitan Police said a man in his 40s attended a police station in south London on Thursday, The Times first reported on Sunday.

“He was interviewed under caution by detectives in relation to three non-recent sexual offences. Inquiries continue.”

On Tuesday the BBC said two more complainants had come forward since it launched a review into the behaviour of Brand.
