## Summary

Mia Latter has waived her anonymity to speak publicly about her allegation that Russell Brand orally raped her in 2006, when she was 16 and he was 30. She says she is going public to campaign for a change in UK law that would prevent adults from having relationships with 16-year-olds while protecting relationships between teenagers close in age.

Latter, now 37, says Brand approached her in London, pursued a secret relationship and encouraged her to miss school. She alleges that he forced her against a headboard and ignored her attempts to stop him; Brand has denied wrongdoing. He was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of rape and three sexual assaults, while Latter says the Crown Prosecution Service told her she would not be included in the trial.
