Russell Brand faced allegations at Southwark Crown Court of groping and forcing women into sexual acts between 1999 and 2009.
Russell Brand appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, 14 October, accused of groping women and forcing them into sexual acts. The allegations span from 1999 to 2009. Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones told jurors that Brand was 'rampant in his desire to have sex'.
Ms Karmy-Jones outlined allegations involving four women. A former friend, Mark Pinheiro, testified that Brand burst into a flat the morning after an alleged rape at a Labour Party conference in Bournemouth in 1999, telling him they 'had to leave town immediately'. Pinheiro said Brand later admitted he had sex with a woman and things 'might have got a little out of hand'.
The prosecutor described a second alleged incident in 2001 involving a woman who worked at MTV. Ms Karmy-Jones said when the woman offered to show Brand where the toilets were, he allegedly grabbed her and pulled her toward them until she managed to pull away. A third alleged victim met Brand in Soho in July 2004, when the prosecutor said Brand pulled her into the toilets and orally raped her, telling her not to be a 'spoilsport'.
