Russell Brand trial jury hears assault pattern claim
Prosecutor alleges Brand sexually assaulted six unconnected women with a recurring pattern over a decade.
The prosecutor told London jurors Russell Brand showed a pattern. This pattern repeated across six unconnected women over a decade.
Russell Brand would charm and flatter them at first. Then he would force sexual contact when they resisted.
When they said no, he did not listen or stop. After the alleged assaults, he contacted victims.
He reached them through phone numbers or email. The prosecutor called this behavior gaslighting.
Brand denies the charges: three counts of rape, three of sexual assault, and one of attempted indecent assault. A former MTV worker testified that in 2001 he tried to drag her into a toilet.
The prosecutor used a stopwatch to show the incident lasted 20 seconds.
