A prosecutor has told the court that women involved in the case were haunted for years by alleged crimes involving Russell Brand and had little to gain from coming forward beyond seeking some closure.
The comments were made during court proceedings concerning allegations against the comedian and actor. The material available does not provide further details about the alleged offences, the identities of those involved or the stage reached in the case.
The prosecutor said the women had “nothing to gain” apart from the possibility of closure. The statement reflects the prosecution’s account of their motivation and does not represent a finding of guilt.
The case remains before the court. Further developments will depend on the evidence and arguments presented during the proceedings.
