A former MTV worker has told Southwark Crown Court that Russell Brand raped her in a Soho bar toilet in 2004, shortly after groping her. Under cross-examination, she denied being a starstruck schoolgirl and said she froze in shock. She waited until 2023 to report it, fearing she would be seen as trouble. Brand denies all seven charges against him, including three counts of rape.
