A woman who claims Russell Brand sexually assaulted her has described the alleged attack as “frenzied” and “violent”.<\/p>\n
Brand, 51, faces seven charges in the trial – three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.<\/p>\n
The allegations, made by six female complainants, span a 10-year period between 1999 and 2009. He denies the charges.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the jury heard from the fourth complainant in the trial, who alleges Brand sexually assaulted her at the Choice FM radio studios in central London in the mid-2000s.<\/p>\n
She said she came out of a small room in the building to find Brand outside.<\/p>\n
“He said ‘aye aye’,” she told the jury, “he grabbed me by my face, started to kiss me, and when he was kissing me he started pushing me – his body against me.”<\/p>\n
The woman continued: “He was kissing me, it was very frenzied. There was no time for me to even understand what was going on.<\/p>\n
“He was running his hands over my body and I had my back against the wall at that point.”<\/p>\n
From behind a blue screen, the woman described the kiss as “sloppy” and “very, very rough”, when asked by the prosecution barrister about the alleged attack.<\/p>\n
“His hands at the same time were all over me,” she said. “He touched my bum, my breasts, his body was pressed up against me.”<\/p>\n
The woman said she pushed him off and swore at him.<\/p>\n
She said there were several people with him who she claims didn’t say anything about what happened after the alleged assault.<\/p>\n
The woman – now in her 50s – said she had never met Brand before and that she believed he’d been in the building because he was on Channel 4 show Big Brother’s Big Mouth.<\/p>\n
She told the jury: “His whole body was pressed against me – the kisses were hard and sloppy and going down my neck. <\/p>\n
“His hands were moving so much – the reason I used the word frenzied was because it was violent. He just wasn’t stopping.”<\/p>\n
Said she felt “dirty” after the encounter and “never told anybody”, adding: “I felt shocked and stunned, shaken.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who claims Russell Brand sexually assaulted her has described the alleged attack as “frenzied” and “violent”.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-808612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
