Brand: Day 4 - “It made me feel so dirty”

A warning this podcast contains graphic descriptions of alleged rape and sexual assault.

“It made me feel so dirty.”

The first complainant gives emotional evidence about an alleged rape in 1999. The jury hears her video-recorded police interview before she faces cross-examination from Russell Brand's defence team.

The judge also intervenes during a tense exchange with the defence barrister.

Russell Brand faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault. He denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty takes us through the evidence and the exchanges in court, explaining what the jury heard and the legal issues they must consider.
