Met police chief urges further Russell Brand accusers to come forward after rape conviction

Mark Rowley said he would not be surprised if more women came forward, as Brand remains in custody awaiting sentencing on Monday.

• Brand was convicted on Thursday of raping a woman at his London townhouse and sexually assaulting three women at their workplaces.
• Rowley said on Friday that police are examining two further rape allegations against Brand and encouraged anyone else to come forward.
• The Metropolitan Police said it has submitted files on the additional allegations to the Crown Prosecution Service and that its investigation remains ongoing.
• Mr Justice Bennathan told Brand to expect "a significant custodial term" at his sentencing hearing, scheduled for Monday.
