Russell Brand, following the allegations, had his content removed by the BBC

The British public television BBC announced that it has removed from its digital platforms “some content” in which a comedian and actor appeared Russell Brandwho was accused of rape by several women, sexual assault and emotional abuse.

After investigation journalism and a television documentary that brought to light those accusations last weekend, BBC reviewed the “limited content” of the Mark that was offered to the public and made the decision to “delete part of it, considering that it is currently under expectations viewers.”

The deleted programs in which the 48-year-old actor appeared will no longer be available on the platforms BBC iPlayer (video) i BBC Sounds (Audio).

Youtube suspended income from advertising their channels

The decision comes shortly after YouTube suspended income of advertising on channels associated with Brando, who has denied all accusations against him.

Chair of the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Conservative Caroline Dinenage, has written for Channel 4, the BBC and GB News, as well as the platform TikTokto find out “what actions they take” in the face of “very serious” public complaints against comedians.

“These accusations were described by journalists and on social networks as ‘public secret‘. On many occasions, these types of secrets are shared with each other friends and colleagues, just to stay safe,” Dinenage described.

“My concern comes when people in power know it rumours and stories, but they still don’t work,” he added.

Joint newspaper investigation “Time” and Channel 4 revealed allegations from four women of abuse allegedly committed by Brand between 2006 and 2013.

Following these revelations, the London Metropolitan Police received complaint by a woman in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in London’s Soho neighborhood in 2003.

In England and Wales, most crimes are prosecuted criminal courts they do not have prescription date.
