Six more women have accused the jailed comedian of sexual misconduct after his conviction for rape and sexual assault.

Russell Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months on Monday after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others at Southwark Crown Court. This week, six more women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour, according to investigations by The Times and The Sunday Times.

The new allegations include claims that Brand had sex with a woman without her consent and then apologised afterwards. Another woman alleged that Brand continued having sex with her despite her repeatedly asking him to stop because she was in pain. She claimed he later told her: 'Tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn't want to do.' A third woman alleged Brand sexually assaulted her at his hotel after inviting her following one of his shows. At least three of the six women encountered Brand at his comedy shows or gigs.

The allegations could not be reported until Brand's criminal trial ended, to avoid prejudicing the proceedings. All the women spoke to journalists before hearing of allegations at trial, The Times reported. A Netflix documentary titled Russell Brand: Open Secret was released on Friday, featuring accounts from some of the women and a former partner, Jordan Martin, who alleged Brand made her brush her teeth until her mouth bled.

British comedian Josie Long also came forward this week, claiming that over 20 years ago, Brand bit her face backstage and chased her around. Long said she initially giggled about it because she was 22 and found it overwhelming, but now recognises it as 'a physical assault'.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed they have been contacted by several people during and after Brand's trial. Police said detectives are examining new allegations, while prosecutors are expected to decide within weeks whether to bring further charges against Brand over two separate alleged rapes, including one allegedly involving a 16-year-old girl. Files have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, and detectives remain in close contact with prosecutors.

Brand has previously denied all wrongdoing and claimed all his sexual relationships have been consensual. His legal representatives were offered an opportunity to respond to the latest allegations but did not provide a response by the agreed deadline, despite further requests for comment. He is currently imprisoned at HMP Wandsworth in London and is expected to serve two-thirds of his sentence before being released on licence, after which he will be on the sex offenders' register for life.
