Russell Brand accuser says alleged rape left her afraid she may be pregnant
A woman who alleges Russell Brand raped her in a hotel has said she was left feeling "dirty" and afraid she may be pregnant in the aftermath of the alleged attack.
The 51-year-old actor and comedian faces seven charges - three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.
The allegations, made by six female complainants, span a 10-year period between 1999 and 2009. He denies the charges.
Video evidence played to the jury at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday showed one of his complainants tell the police: "He raped me basically and I know that happened."
The jury heard one of Brand's accusers say she had met him in 1999, before he was famous.
The woman was heard speaking in a police interview recorded in 2023, when reporting the alleged crime.
She said she had attended the Labour Party conference in Bournemouth and went to a fringe event where she said she spoke to Brand. She alleges he later raped her.
The complainant said they had both gone back to a hotel room. She told the officer she thought Brand "was gay" when they met earlier and she didn't feel like he was "trying it on with her".
During the video evidence, Russell Brand watched the tv screen attached to the dock - rarely taking his eyes away
She said she had been in the bathroom, but when she came out "he had like briefs on - and I was like taken aback and shocked. He was prancing around".
