Russell Brand trial: accuser describes alleged hotel rape

At Southwark Crown Court, a woman has testified that Russell Brand turned 'monster-like' and raped her in a hotel room after they met at a cabaret show during the 1999 Labour Party conference. The alleged victim said Brand made her take half-naked photographs of him before the attack. Brand, 51, denies three counts of rape, three of sexual assault, and one of indecent assault; his lawyer has suggested accusers 'reimagined' encounters after media reports.
