Brand Trial: Witnesses Detail Decade of Alleged Assaults as Defense Challenges Power Dynamics
Russell Brand is on trial in London for seven counts of sexual offenses against six women, spanning 1999 to 2009. Prosecutors describe him as a 'ruthless' predator, while witnesses detail specific incidents of forced contact and coercion. Brand, who has pleaded not guilty, maintains that all interactions were consensual and denies the allegations, with his defense arguing a lack of power imbalance in early cases.
