Russell Brand's accusers were 'amusements in his playground of orgasms', court hears | Trial day 14
Warning: This episode includes graphic descriptions of alleged rape and sexual assault.
It's day 14 of Russell Brand's rape trial in London and today his defence team finished setting out their case and the prosecution barrister presented her closing arguments.
Ms Riel Karmy-Jones told the court that Brand saw one accuser, Woman E, as: "just a hole, a number to add to his 5,000 notches that he was marking up". She also described his alleged victims as, 'the amusements in his playground of orgasms'.
Ms Karmy-Jones also told the court: “Six women who have nothing to gain, who have not sought the limelight, who have not looked out for some form of publicity, who have not taken part in a documentary, not made claims for compensation.
In this episode, Culture Correspondent Minnie Stephenson breaks down everything the jury heard today with producer Sachelle Connor.
Brand faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault. He denies all charges.
