Russell Brand: Police receive new allegations as former partner Jemima Goldsmith speaks out | 5 News

Jemima Goldsmith has described experiencing violence, coercive control and abuse during her relationship with Russell Brand, adding her own account to the developments following his sentencing.

In a short 5 News report, Dani Sinha explains that the Metropolitan Police have received further contacts during and since Brand's trial. Those reports are being reviewed alongside two additional rape allegations. They are separate from the offences for which he has been convicted.

Brand was sentenced on Monday to ten and a half years in prison for rape and sexual assault. Goldsmith's public statement also pays tribute to the courage of the women who testified at his trial.

The report drew about 76,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts. Its focus is on what follows the sentence: new information reaching detectives and continuing police inquiries, rather than the conclusion of the court proceedings alone.

Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy puts that distinction plainly in an interview clip: "Our work isn't done."
