The trial on Wednesday heard recorded police interviews with Brand’s youngest accuser, who says she carried feelings of shame and guilt with her after the alleged attack.
Six women have accused Brand, 51, of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one allegation of indecent assault. He denies the charges.
