Russell Brand is a ruthless ‘sexual predator’ with a ‘voracious’ appetite who raped victims while pursuing a ‘goal’ of bedding 5,000 women, a court has heard.
The comedian and actor was described as a ‘calculated and manipulative’ rapist who spent a decade assaulting women, treating them as a ‘means to an end’ to satisfy his ‘insatiable desire’.
Brand, 51, stands accused of exploiting his fame to carry out three counts of rape, three sexual assaults and one charge of indecent assault against six women between 1999 and 2009. He denies all the charges.
