The split in the Russell Brand verdicts is what stands out: one rape and three sexual assault convictions, while two rape charges and an attempted indecent assault ended in acquittal. As for the cases themselves, the source's read is "a bit weird?" On the rape count from 2009, the complainant said they first connected after his Hammersmith Apollo show, where a threesome took place in the dressing room involving a second woman, and she described it as consensual. A week on, at his Hampstead home, sex was again consensual, but she testified that he then anally raped her and kept going after she asked him to stop. The three assault convictions: seizing a woman's chest at a Soho bar in 2004, touching a Choice FM colleague inappropriately in 2004/05, and resting his head in a Channel 4 coworker's lap in 2009. He was cleared of a 1999 rape at a Bournemouth hotel, a 2001 MTV toilet-grab attempt, and oral rape in the same Soho bar toilet.
