Det Supt Andy Furphy of the Metropolitan Police urged other potential victims to come forward as Brand is also under investigation for two further rape allegations and faces a civil claim.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
