The accused in the Russell Brand case says the alleged rape has left her feeling "dirty" and afraid she may be pregnant.

The brand, who denies all allegations against him, reportedly rarely took his eyes off the complainant's police interview as it played in court. His trial for rape and sexual assault is ongoing.

The first plaintiff in Russell Brand's rape trial testified Thursday, a day after prosecutors described the former actor as a "ruthless" and "calculating" sexual predator in opening statements.

To recall, Brand is accused of three counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of unlawful trespass, with six women claiming the crimes from 1999 to 2009. He denies all these claims.

In a pre-recorded police interview from 2023 shown to jurors, the first lady spoke about her interactions with Brand. They allegedly met in 1999 at a theater in Bournemouth, England, where he was attending fringe events at the Labor Party conference. They met at a show that Brand was performing. He noted that he was not famous at this point.

The plaintiff said that he had talked to him about doing a show about his political activism. "I was completely invested in that conversation," the court heard, according to Ambassador Orjans' account. "I thought it was a gay man. He was very complimentary. [...] I didn't feel like he would try this on me. He was very polite, polite and really smart."

When Brand suggested they go to a pub, the woman told him she didn't like pubs and suggested they go back to her hotel. He told police he felt "stupid" for saying it

In the hotel room, the complainant claims Brand partially undressed while going to the toilet and told her to make a cup of tea. She says he told her, "Don't worry... I'm mostly naked at home." When he started "working out again", she felt "surprised" and "shocked" and forced him to take pictures of her with his camera before raping her. "I was scared," the police interview continued. I remember feeling, "What have I gotten myself into?" "He raped me, he pushed me on the bed... he took my clothes off."

Appellant recalls closing her eyes during the alleged assault and trying to "stay strong." She said: "I just wanted him to finish soon. It sounds bad, but just finish and get away from me. I remember him complimenting me, I remember him saying, 'Are you enjoying this?'

The woman claimed that Brand did not realize that she had done something wrong. He remembered her writing her email and saying she had to get back to her mother. "I know I was crying. I felt stupid," she said. The woman, who appeared to be in tears at the moment, said: "I'm just shocked. I don't think I'm going to sleep. I had to clean myself up... It was a dirty thing that happened to me. It made me feel dirty." "Those days were your fault. It was always my fault. I lived with a lot of guilt."

She told police she self-harmed after the alleged rape and feared she was pregnant.

In cross-examination, Brand's defense lawyer, Ian Winter, told him the former comedian was a "young lad" at the time, several years younger than the complainant. He stated that they were on "equal comparison". "If you didn't want him to do something, you'd turn it on, wouldn't you?" Winter asked. "Sure," he replied.

She told Winter: “I didn't go there for sex and I definitely didn't want to have sex with him — a random guy ... he raped me. I may not remember exactly what I wore that day, what I ate, but it happened. He did it to me." Winter also asked why he didn't report it at the time, to which the witness said, “I was embarrassed. "I felt like no one would believe me... I was told if you do this, you're done."

Brand, who again denies that any of the interactions were non-consensual, reportedly rarely took his eyes off the screen as the complainant's police interview aired. The trial is expected to last six weeks at Southwark Crown Court in London.
