YouTube suspends Russell Brand's channel from making money from adverts - BBC News

YouTube has suspended Russell Brand's channels from making money from adverts for "violating" its "creator responsibility policy".

The video platform said it was taking action "to protect" its users.

It comes after the Metropolitan Police received a report of an alleged sexual assault in 2003, in the wake of further allegations about the star.

Over the weekend the comedian and actor was accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013, which he denies.
