Brand Trial: Judge Swaps Indecent Assault Charge for Attempted Count Amidst New Testimony
Judge Bennathan dismissed an indecent assault charge against Russell Brand, replacing it with attempted indecent assault due to insufficient evidence. The trial at Southwark Crown Court continues, with Brand denying all remaining charges of rape and sexual assault spanning 1999 to 2009. New testimony from his former assistant and police statements from Brand were presented to the jury.
