- She told the court she had not agreed to anal sex.
- Brand denies charges; his barrister says the encounter was consensual.

## Summary

A woman told Southwark Crown Court that an alleged rape by Russell Brand left her feeling degraded, guilty and ashamed. She said she had agreed to vaginal sex with a condom but not anal sex, and that Brand forced her into it without warning. Brand denies the charges, and his barrister argued that the encounter was consensual.

The woman said she had admired Brand when they met at a gig in 2009, then visited his Hampstead home after splitting from her partner. Months later, after receiving a text from Brand, she challenged him and told him he had treated her “like an animal”; she said he replied, “I’m sorry”. Six women accuse Brand of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault.
