Thames Valley Police Confirm 2014 Incident Involving Russell Brand Following Jemima Goldsmith’s Claims

Thames Valley Police have confirmed they attended a 2014 incident involving Russell Brand after television producer Jemima Goldsmith alleged she experienced “violence, coercive control and abuse” during their relationship.

The statement comes after Goldsmith revealed on social media that she had to call the police to have Brand removed from her Oxfordshire home in July 2014. The disclosure follows Brand’s recent conviction and sentencing to 10-and-a-half years in prison for rape and sexual assault.

Thames Valley Police Statement on 2014 Call

According to Thames Valley Police, officers were dispatched to the scene on July 25, 2014, after receiving a report from a woman stating she had been assaulted by her partner in Oxfordshire.

“Officers were sent to the scene, where they spoke to the victim, listened to her concerns, and provided support and advice,” the police statement read. “We also ensured the victim’s partner left the address, as per the victim’s wishes.”

Goldsmith stated that she chose not to press charges at the time due to concerns over media attention and the impact it could have on her children. She added that she has “neither seen nor spoken to Brand since that period in 2014” and expressed relief that he has “finally faced justice.”

Brand, 51, was sentenced on Monday by Mr Justice Bennathan, who condemned the comedian’s “staggering arrogance” and use of celebrity status to target victims.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police announced on Tuesday that they are actively assessing new information and potential criminal allegations from several additional individuals who have come forward since the trial concluded.
