英国喜剧演员拉塞尔·布兰德涉嫌强奸案的审理工作已进入第三周 1。现年51岁的布兰德于周三在证人席作证长达4小时，他坚称自己对所有指控均无罪，并将此案描述为“极度创伤性事件” 1。尽管否认犯罪指控，布兰德承认曾错误地利用名声和成功来“促进”与女性的性行为，并将其定性为“自私地滥用” 1。
周四，布兰德的妻子劳拉出庭支持丈夫，她证实两人自2006年起开始相恋 1。劳拉表示，尽管布兰德早期存在出轨行为，但她仍视其为“好父亲”和“体贴的丈夫” 1。检察官Riel Karmy-Jones反驳了布兰德作为媒体受害者的说法，指出布兰德并未被所有人抛弃，且依然拥有数百万在线粉丝 1。此外，检察官还通过引用布兰德自传中的言论对其道德观提出质疑 1。
周五，检察官发表结案陈词，强调六名指控布兰德的女性互不相识且无利益动机，称她们是勇敢地说出真相 1。辩护律师Ian Winter预计将在周一庭审恢复时进行结案陈词 1。
British comedian Russell Brand, 51, testified for four hours on Wednesday at London's criminal court, maintaining his innocence regarding all rape charges while describing the trial as a "highly traumatic event" 1. Although he firmly denied the accusations against him, Brand admitted to having selfishly abused his fame and success to facilitate sexual encounters with women 1. His wife, Laura, took the stand on Thursday to corroborate their relationship timeline, stating they began dating in 2006 1. Despite acknowledging past infidelity by her husband, she characterized Brand as both a good father and a considerate spouse 1.
Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones challenged Brand’s portrayal as a media victim during cross-examination, pointing out that he retains millions of online followers and has not been universally abandoned 1. The prosecution delivered its closing arguments on Friday, emphasizing that the six women who brought forward allegations were strangers to one another and had no motive to fabricate claims, describing them as courageous truth-tellers 1. Defense attorney Ian Winter is scheduled to present his closing remarks when proceedings resume on Monday 1.
