YouTube CEO defends decision to demonetize Russell Brand's channel amid sexual assault allegations

In an exclusive interview with "CBS Mornings," YouTube CEO Neal Mohan defended the platform's recent decision to suspend monetization of comedian Russell Brand's channel following sexual assault and emotional abuse allegations against him. 

YouTube suspended Brand's ability to earn money from his online videos earlier this week after multiple women accused Brand of rape, sexual assault and abuse — allegations he vehemently denies.  

Mohan, who assumed the role of YouTube CEO earlier this year, defended the move, citing YouTube's creator responsibility guidelines policy.
