Turning a blind eye? | Russell Brand allegations - Months after Schofield case, have TV bosses failed in their duty of care again?

Just months after the Philip Schofield scandal, TV bosses have shown they have failed again in their duty of care as allegations against Russell Brand continue to mount.

Those are the thoughts of an employment law expert who has spoken out several HR red flags in the wake of the news about the comedian.

The BBC said it was "urgently looking into the issues" raised by allegations of sexual assault made against the broadcaster's former employee, British comedian and actor Russell Brand, who denies the accusations.

The Times and documentary show Dispatches reported that the alleged incidents had taken place between 2006 and 2013 and said one woman had made an allegation of rape, while another said Brand assaulted her when she was 16 and still at school.
