Summary

  • Mia Latter, identified earlier only as “Alice,” waived anonymity and said Russell Brand forced her against a headboard and orally raped her when she was 16.
  • Latter told The Times she was choking, crying and trying to push Brand off during the alleged assault, saying she had to hit him in the stomach to get free.
  • The allegation relates to a period when Brand was 30 and, she said, called her “The Child”; she also said the relationship damaged her education and contributed to an eating disorder.
  • Brand is already serving 10 years and six months after convictions for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others, while Latter's allegation remains outside that trial and under investigation.
