Russell Brand tells court he has never had non-consensual sex as trial hears his police statements

Russell Brand's trial heard his police statements denying any non-consensual sexual activity, while a judge amended an indecent assault charge to attempted indecent assault.

• Brand told police he led a "very promiscuous" life, insisting he had "never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity."
• Brand blamed the allegations on "defamatory and fictitious" media reports, saying subsequent police and media invitations produced encounters "invented or reimagined."
• Judge Mr Justice Bennathan said there was insufficient evidence for the indecent assault charge, which was amended to attempted indecent assault.
• Brand denies three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault.
