The TV presenter, 51, was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court on November 5. Documents were filed in New York last week, as reported by the Daily Mail, in connection with a civil cause brought by an unnamed woman who claims Brand sexually assaulted her on the set of 2011 film Arthur. The woman, an extra identified in the documents as Jane Doe, is suing Brand and Warner Bros studios. She claims Brand ‘appeared intoxicated’ on the day he ‘exposed his penis’ to the woman on set ‘in full view of the cast and crew.’ She alleged that he later assaulted her in a bathroom. The documents state that Brand was asked if he had ever exposed his genitals to another person without their explicit or verbal consent.

The woman is claiming for psychological injuries and financial losses.

Following last week’s verdict, it was revealed that Brand was being investigated over two more rape allegations. Speaking to BBC Breakfast on Friday, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley added that he wouldn’t be surprised if many more women came forward.

Speaking on LBC yesterday, Rowley refused to comment on the ‘double digits’ reports. ‘I’m not going to guess on this, but we’ve seen in the past with high-profile individuals who are brought to justice that it does often bring out a flood of other cases,’ Rowley told breakfast host Nick Ferrari. ‘Let’s see where this one goes.’ Brand is currently incarcerated in Wandsworth Prison ahead of sentencing on Monday.
