## Summary

The jury has begun considering its verdicts in Russell Brand’s trial at Southwark Crown Court, after three weeks of evidence. Its decision will determine whether he is guilty of any of seven charges, which he denies.

The charges concern allegations by six women between 1999 and 2009: three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault. Brand said his past behaviour was sexually obsessive but consensual; prosecutors argued that he ignored the women’s refusals, while his barrister said none of the encounters was unlawful. The judge told the 12 jurors that he can accept only verdicts on which they all agree.
