Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged rape
Sky News’ Martin Brunt and Katie Spencer report more of the prosecution case against Russell Brand, as the family and friends of a woman who accuses him of rape in 2009 give evidence.
The woman claims she was anally raped by the comedian at his home. Her friends, family and colleagues have given their accounts of what she’d told them – including that she’d been "humiliated, scared, violated and in pain" after the alleged rape.
The defence cross-examined witnesses including the ex-boyfriend of the accuser, who they claimed had given conflicting statements to the police and the court.
Brand faces three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of indecent assault. He denies all the charges.
