RUSSELL Brand could be charged on suspicion of sex offences after cops quizzed him three times over allegations.
Cops probing historical sex offence allegations against Brand have passed a file of evidence to prosecutors, the Sunday Times reports.
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy said: “Our investigation continues and a file has now been passed to the CPS.
“We have a team of dedicated officers providing specialist support to the women who have come forward.
“We are committed to investigating sexual offences, no matter how long ago they are alleged to have taken place.”
Brand has been questioned under caution on three separate occasions.
The questioning including a previously undisclosed police interview in January.
He denies any wrongdoing and said all his sexual relationships were “absolutely always consensual”.
Brand was previously accused of rape, assault and emotional abuse after a joint investigation by the Sunday Times and Dispatches last year.
He has strongly denied all allegations, which date from the height of his fame between 2006 and 2016.
Four women accused comedian and Hollywood star Brand of sexual offences including a rape.
Brand’s YouTube account was suspended when the allegations emerged.
He now posts videos on Rumble, including conspiracy theories about vaccines and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Brand claims to have converted to Christianity and often recites from the Bible in his videos.
In one video, Brand was seen baptising another man in a lake while dressed in his underpants.
He said: “It might seem a bit soon to be baptising people, but the Apostles did it on day one, so here we are.”
His clips have been viewed 160million times on Rumble since September last year.
In August The Sun revealed Brand has been quietly phased out of the Despicable Me film franchise in the wake of sex abuse allegations.
Brand, voice of scientist Dr Nefario, was replaced in the latest blockbuster by fellow comic Romesh Ranganathan.
A movie insider said: “It’s a shock Russell is no longer involved in the Despicable Me films because he’s been a fixture since the first film.
“Plus, there was little fanfare when Romesh took on the role, neither from Universal nor the comedian himself.
“It feels like film bosses just wanted to make a quick change without anybody really noticing.”
