Woman tells Russell Brand trial of alleged 2004 rape in Soho bar toilet

A woman told Russell Brand's trial that he grabbed her breasts and orally raped her in a toilet at a Soho bar in 2004.

• Brand, 51, denies seven charges — three of rape, three of sexual assault and one of indecent assault — against six women, spanning 1999 to 2009.
• On Monday, jurors at Southwark Crown Court watched her pre-recorded police interview, marking her as the trial's third complainant and second to allege rape.
• The woman told police she closed her eyes and "tried not to be there" as Brand allegedly orally raped her in the toilet.
• Brand's barrister Ian Winter KC suggested the woman had "happily accompanied" Brand to the toilets and had been charmed to meet him.
