d told him to  fuck off.  She continued:  It was rough. His whole body was pressed against me … his hands were moving up and down so much it was violent. It was hard, and he just wasn't stopping,  she said.

She recalled feeling  dirty, shocked, stunned and shaken  by the encounter. Brand's head defense lawyer Ian Winter asked why she didn't come forward at the time, to which the complainant replied about the workplace culture then:  Women were rated by colleagues on what we were wearing, how we looked. … I did not feel at that stage there was someone I could go and talk to.  She became upset as she remembered thinking no one would believe her.  I was literally attacked when I was at work by someone who  was a face,'  she said. Secondly,  I could lose my job, and I have a mortgage to pay. 

In the afternoon, the fifth complainant's police interview played for the jury. She described meeting Brand after one of his gigs at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009, when she was in her early 20s. She was asked by his security to go upstairs for a drink with the comedian and engaged in a consensual threesome in his dressing room, said the complainant. She expected never to hear from him again.

This woman later visited him at his house where, she wanted to make clear,  I was expecting to have sex with him.  After consensual vaginal sex - which she described as  very awkward  - Brand turned her onto her front and anally raped her and  pushed her face down onto the pillow.  She recalled feeling as though  she couldn't speak or breathe  and said she was in pain. When finally able to speak, the woman alleges she told Brand to stop  a few times quietly and then really loudly. 

The anal rape lasted  minutes,  and Brand  looked absolutely fucking horrified  when it was over, she said. She expected him to apologize, but alleges he only told her:   You need to clear up the mess you made.'  The complainant said Brand left the room five minutes after the attack. She says she suffered an anal tear and was terrified she could have contracted HIV, adding that her father was  devastated  upon hearing her experience because he bought the original gig tickets.

The jury also heard details of the sixth complainant's allegations on Tuesday. She spoke from behind a screen and said the incident took place in 2009 when she worked at Channel 4. She'd met Brand  briefly  once before. Brand had become unhappy as the day went on and demanded a massage, she alleged.

Brand  lay his head into [her] lap,  while they recorded a project at Channel 4 offices, she said.  His left shoulder was leaning against my leg, and his head was in my lap.  She recalled his nose and mouth  were in my vaginal area… It was a weird position for a massage to be in, that's for sure. 

Male colleagues of Brand's were in the room, according to the complainant. She hoped they would help her. But they gestured to her as if to say,   Well, are you going to do it?'  she said. Explaining that she just wanted to  get [Brand] off her,  she attempted to massage him. The men in the room allegedly laughed when she said Brand was  bony,  but Brand didn't laugh.

During the encounter, this sixth complainant also alleges Brand began trying to  distract  attention. She did an impression of him, according to Sky's court reporters, and said in a high-pitched voice:   I'm a calculator, look at me, look at me.'  Reportedly, Brand's wife pursed her lips and looked towards him at this moment,  as if trying to catch his eye,  Sky said.

Brand's lawyer Winter told the court that the alleged victim gave differing accounts of what she was wearing at the time. His client says if any of the encounters did take place, they were all consensual.

The trial could last up to six weeks.
