 Russell Brand's country pub has been 'temporarily closed' amid allegations of rape and sexual assault made against him. Several women have come forward with shocking accusations against Brand, 48, detailing his alleged crimes in a Channel 4 Dispatches special which aired this weekend. The women accusing the comedian of assault and controlling behaviour claim their incidents happened over a seven-year period, when Brand was at the height of his fame and appearing on TV programmes, radio shows, and movies galore. One of the alleged victims was just 16 years of age when Brand is said to have 'shoved his penis down her throat'. The Get Him to the Greek star denies all claims. Amid the fallout of the allegations made against the disgraced star, Brand's boozer has been fenced off. On Sunday morning (September 17), the day after the Dispatches film premiered, locals noticed that the entrance to the Crown Inn in Pishill had been blocked by security fencing covered with a beige hessian fabric.

Speaking to the outlet, one local resident said: 'As we drove past this morning, they were putting up a hessian covering. 'It was like a sack covering across the front. It felt locked down. 'When we slowed down to look, the man putting it up stopped to look at us.' 'I saw three security men in Hi-Vis behind,' they continued. 'There were lots of people inside the building as well – about half a dozen.' The woman also said she thinks Brand wanted to shield his pub from 'prying eyes', as she believed him to be inside.
