Brand, 51, testified for over four hours at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, refuting all seven charges brought by six women. He told jurors his use of fame to "facilitate" sex was wrong, and he accepted small inconsistencies in his recollections. Under questioning, he admitted saving the telephone number of one accuser with the letter "T" next to her name, meaning "tart".
