Russell Brand trial day 6: The court hears from the third alleged victim

This article contains discussion of sexual assault that readers might find distressing.

It is the second week of Russell Brand's trial in London. The comedian, actor and podcaster has been charged with three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one allegation of indecent assault against six women, which allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2009. During the pre-trial hearings, he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

Digital Spy covered everything that happened in the first week here, while this article will be updated as new details from week two emerge.

Day 6 - 19 October

Brand arrived with wife Laura Gallacher once again at Southwark Crown Court for the second week of the trial, where he is charged with seven offences against six women, all of which he has denied.

He was pictured wearing sunglasses and a yellow neckerchief.

The start time has been pushed back compared to the previous week, as another case is also taking place in the same building: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (known as Tommy Robinson) is on trial for the alleged harassment of two journalists.

Sky News is reporting that the later start date is due to the number of people attending the court who need to go through security. Brand's trial is taking place in Court 3, where seats have been allocated to select members of the press.

The sixth day of the trial began with the recorded police interview of third alleged victim, who has accused him of orally raping her at a Soho bar in the summer of 2004.

In the video, she talked about meeting Brand for the first time at the venue. She claimed that she chatted to him for about "30 seconds" before he "just grabbed [her] boobs".

She then alleged that he dragged her to the toilet, put his penis in her mouth and then ejaculated. She said she felt shocked by what happened, and that it all happened very quickly.

The trial continues.
