“It happened in a flash” | The Trial of Russell Brand Ep. 7

WARNING: This episode contains descriptions some listeners may find distressing.

On the seventh day in the trial of Russell Brand, Woman 5 told police she went willingly to Brand’s house, but during that visit something she didn’t consent to happened, and he allegedly raped her.

Woman 4 and Woman 6 both allege Brand sexually assaulted them in their workplaces.

The defence suggested Woman 4 did not have a clear memory of the incident, and Woman 6 gave an inconsistent account about her clothing to a journalist.

The defence will begin cross examination of Woman 5 tomorrow.

Russell Brand denies all the allegations against him.

Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace are in court every day, and then join Luke Jones to unpack it all.
