About this episode

WARNING: This episode contains graphic details of alleged rape and sexual assault as described in court. “I'm reporting that Russell Brand did rape me”- those were the words the jury heard in a video played in Southwark Crown Court today. They came from Russell Brand’s first accuser in a police interview in 2023 when she claimed she was raped by him in a hotel room in 1999. Sky News’ Martin Brunt and Katie Spencer take you through the allegations and the cross examination of the woman by Brand’s barrister. Brand faces three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of indecent assault. He denies all the charges. Email the podcast: ontrial@sky.uk
