- Prosecutors accuse 51-year-old Russell Brand of seven offenses involving six women between 1999 and 2009.
- The allegations include rapes in 1999, 2004 and 2009, alongside sexual and indecent assaults.
- Brand pleaded not guilty at two earlier hearings and has repeatedly denied ever having non-consensual sex.
- The trial is scheduled for up to 10 weeks, so the jury might not reach a verdict until December.
