Warning: This episode includes graphic descriptions of rape and sexual assault.
It’s day seven of Russell Brand’s rape trial at Southwark Crown Court, and the testimonies of three more alleged victims were heard in court. The details were extremely graphic.
One woman alleges that after she had consensual vaginal sex with Brand at his home he then anally raped her. She says she told Brand to stop, ‘a few times quietly and then really loudly’.
Another woman alleges that Brand groped and kissed her in what she described as a ‘violent’ sexual assault while she was working at a radio station. She described Brand as ‘rough’, ‘violent’ and ‘persistent’.
A third woman accuses Brand of sexually assaulting her during filming for a Channel 4 project in 2009.
In today’s episode, Culture Correspondent Minnie Stephenson speaks to our producer Holly Snelling about all the details from inside the courtroom and what the jury heard.
Brand faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault. He denies all the charges.
