About this episode

On the eighth day of the trial of Russell Brand, Woman 5 finished her testimony and was then cross-examined by the defence. Woman 5 said she felt “guilt and shame” but did not consent to a specific sexual act with Brand. The defence argued that she did consent and said Woman 5 had “idolised” Brand at the time. Russell Brand denies all the allegations against him. Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace are in court every day, and then join Luke Jones to unpack it all.
