  • Russell Brand testified at Southwark Crown Court and denied three rape charges, three sexual-assault charges, and one attempted indecent-assault charge.
  • Brand told his lawyer, Ian Winter, that the allegations had a “devastating” impact on his life and that no person with relevant evidence had testified for him.
  • Prosecutors presented testimony from six women who accused Brand of sexual misconduct between 1999 and 2009.
  • Brand told the court that consent is fundamental, essential, and necessary, and more important than sex itself.
