BBC News reported that the Met Police is investigating several new reports concerning Russell Brand, following his conviction. The development was described in a BBC News report on the investigation.

According to that report, Det Supt Andy Furphy said the force had received "several reports in during the trial and since the trial". The summary of the report available for this story does not say what the reports allege or who made them.

As the BBC News summary presents Furphy's remarks, some of the reports arrived while the trial was under way and others arrived after it. The report does not give a precise figure beyond the term several, and it does not say whether the force has opened a formal inquiry or taken any step beyond examining the reports.

The headline on the BBC News report places the investigation after Brand's conviction. The summary does not describe the offences for which he was convicted, the court that heard the case, or any sentence that was imposed.

This account relies on a single BBC News item. Reporting from other outlets was not part of the source material for this story, so the details above are limited to what that report contains, and any further developments in the matter are not reflected here.
