Russell Brand Trial Opens in London as Woman Testifies He Raped Her in 2004

A woman testified in a London court on Monday that Russell Brand grabbed her breasts, pulled her into a bar toilet and orally raped her, telling police the comedian said "don't be a spoilsport" beforehand in 2004. The British actor and comedian faces three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of indecent assault involving six women, with the alleged offenses spanning 1999 to 2009. Brand, 51, denies all charges. Following his arrest, he told police he had never taken part in non-consensual sexual activity and suggested the accusers may have reimagined the events. The former husband of US singer Katy Perry was once among Britain's most prominent broadcasters. The trial continues.
