Newly released footage of a July 2025 police interview shows Russell Brand giving a flat, repeated response as a Metropolitan Police detective read aloud a woman’s detailed account of an alleged rape, according to material made public after his conviction. The Russell Brand police video was among photographs and documents released by London’s Metropolitan Police following his guilty verdict.
Detective Recounts the Woman's Account
In the clip, Brand, 51, sits at a table in an interrogation room wearing an army green jacket over a white V-neck shirt. His expression remains unchanged as the investigator describes the woman’s allegation that he removed a condom before sexually assaulting her.
The detective told Brand that the woman said the condom had been taken off at some point before the anal rape and was then on the floor. According to the account read in the room, Brand told her to clean up the mess on the bed and left. Another man then came in and said she had to go because Brand had another show that evening, the investigator continued. The woman said the same driver who had brought her to Brand’s home later took her to Hampstead tube station.
Brand Repeats a Brief Reply
After the detective finished reading the allegation, he asked Brand for his response. Brand answered that he had nothing further to add at that time, a reply he gave more than once during the exchange. He stayed silent while the account was read and showed no visible reaction to the graphic claims.
Brand had denied the allegations against him and maintained that his sexual encounters were consensual.
Files Released After Verdict
The interview footage was part of a larger collection the Metropolitan Police published after Brand was found guilty on Nov. 5, 2026, following a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court. The jury convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault.
Other items in the release included old photographs of a young Brand performing at the Soapbox Cabaret, a political comedy show in Bournemouth, England, in 1999. The files also contained a hand-drawn map of the MTV and Viacom offices marking bathrooms, elevators and entrances, a photograph of a building at 2 Great Titchfield Street in London labeled 2012, and an older labeled “RB 2004.”
Sentencing Set and Further Investigations
Justice Joel Bennathan told Brand he faces a significant prison sentence. The judge also reportedly told him to sit down and described the case as very well planned. Brand was taken into custody after the verdict and is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday, Nov. 9.
Separately, the Metropolitan Police are investigating additional rape allegations against Brand, including one from a woman who dated him when he was 30 and she was 16, according to reports cited in the coverage. A representative for Brand did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
