"English comedian Russell Brand has been charged with two additional counts of rape and sexual assault, The Daily Mail reported Tuesday. According to Metropolitan Police, the charges stem from allegations from two women. In April, Brand was accused of assault by four separate women. For those four cases, Brand was charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count each for rape, indecent assault, and oral rape. Brand swiftly denied the allegations and pled not guilty during a May appearance in court."
"Detective Chief Inspector Tariq Farooqi from the Metropolitan Police who is leading the investigation said: The women who have made reports, including those connected to the two new charges, continue to receive support from specially trained officers. The Met's investigation remains ongoing, and detectives urge anyone affected by this case, or anyone with information, to come forward and speak with police.'"
