Police in London have launched an investigation into Russell Brand, after receiving several allegations of "non recent" sexual offences relating to the actor and comedian.
Brand, 48, was the subject of rape, sexual assault and bullying allegations in an investigation by Britain's The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches program earlier this month.
He denies all the allegations.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said it had received "a number of allegations of sexual offences in London" and other parts of the country.
No arrests have been made.
