Russell Brand denies all charges as he takes the stand at his rape and sex assault trial
- On Wednesday, actor-comedian Russell Brand testified at Southwark Crown Court, denying seven historical charges—three rape, three sexual assault, one attempted indecent assault—spanning 1999 to 2009.
- A 2023 Channel 4 documentary sparked the allegations and caused what Brand called "devastating" impact; he told the court friends and colleagues abandoned him, leaving him unable to secure any witnesses.
- Under cross-examination, Brand acknowledged he "misused" his fame to "facilitate sexual access" and dedicated his life to "beyond reckless philandering," yet maintained that consent is "non-negotiable."
- Supporting her husband on Thursday, Laura Gallacher testified Brand is a "wonderful father" and "amazingly attentive husband," acknowledging his past infidelity but stating he respected her sexual boundaries.
- Presiding judge Mr Justice Bennathan indicated the jury is likely to begin deliberating the seven charges on Tuesday, November 3, following the defense's case conclusion at Southwark Crown Court.
