Russell Brand was questioned by police over alleged sexual assault in 2014, when a masseuse claimed he groped her and made her feel “like a whore,” according to a new report.
The embattled British comedian, who is being investigated for allegedly raping four women, first came to the attention of police nine years ago when an English masseuse said he assaulted her at a mansion in Oxfordshire, The Sun reported on Sunday.

The traumatized woman said she called Thames Valley Police, who continued to investigate Brand over the allegations, which he denied, describing the encounter as “friendly but awkward,” according to the report.
Brand also claimed that CCTV footage from the property supported his version of the story that he was not kicked out of the mansion, Sun said.
