Russell Brand Trial: All You Need To Know
Russell Brand’s trial is about to begin. Anoushka and two criminal defence lawyers explain the charges, discuss the law on consent, and look at how a UK trial works.
Russell Brand’s trial begins at Southwark Crown Court on 12 October.
He faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault.
He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and denies the allegations against him.
Before the trial begins, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is joined by criminal defence lawyers Matthew Claughton and Stephen Davies to break down the charges, and discuss how an English criminal trial differs from trials in the US.
