跟进:Russell Brand性侵案庭审:其妻劳拉出庭作证称他体贴善良,同时承认他早年难以保持忠贞

据《好莱坞报道》报道,英国喜剧演员、演员拉塞尔·布兰德(Russell Brand)强奸与性侵案10月29日在伦敦南华克刑事法庭继续审理,其妻劳拉·布兰德(Laura Brand)作为品格证人出庭作证。此案审理已进入最后阶段,陪审团预计下周退庭评议。
控方指控方面:现年51岁的布兰德面临3项强奸、3项性侵与1项未遂猥亵侵害指控,涉及6名女性,被控行为发生于1999年至2009年间,即其成名初期。检方此前已传唤多名指控者出庭作证。若罪名成立,布兰德最高可面临终身监禁。
布兰德本人否认全部指控,并作无罪答辩。他称自己过去生活放纵,但所有性行为均出于双方自愿;本周亲自作证时,他重申同意「不可谈判」,比性本身更重要。
劳拉的证词方面:她与布兰德2006年开始交往时19岁,2007年分手,2015年复合、2017年结婚,育有三个孩子。她作证称丈夫「体贴、善良,是孩子们的好父亲,也是一位非常体贴的丈夫」,并说两人的婚姻「一直以诚实为核心」。她同时作证,初交往时她发现布兰德与他人有染,「很明显,他当时难以保持忠贞」,两人因此分手;她还称,与布兰德相处时,对方始终尊重她的节奏与意愿。辩方律师试图询问她对指控是否属实的看法时,被法官当庭拒绝,法官指出她不是专家证人。
Follow-Up: Russell Brand's Wife Gives Evidence at His London Rape Trial, Calling Him Caring While Admitting Early Monogamy Was 'Difficult' for Him
The wife of British comedian and actor Russell Brand gave evidence on October 29 at his rape and sexual assault trial at Southwark Crown Court in London, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Laura Brand testified as a character witness as the trial entered its final stages, with the jury expected to begin deliberations next week.
Prosecutors charge Brand, 51, with three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault, involving six women and alleged offences between 1999 and 2009, as he was rising to fame. Several complainants have already testified. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
Brand has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He says that although he was promiscuous in the past, all of his sexual encounters were consensual, and testified this week that consent is "non-negotiable" and more important than sex itself.
Laura Brand, who first dated Brand in 2006 at age 19, split with him in 2007, reconciled in 2015 and married him in 2017 — they have three children — described her husband as "caring, kind, a wonderful father to our children" and "an amazing, attentive husband," saying honesty has always been at the core of their marriage. She also testified that early in their relationship she discovered he was seeing other women: "It was clear it was difficult for him to be monogamous." She said Brand always respected her pace and wishes. When the defence tried to ask her view on the truth of the allegations, the judge intervened, noting she is not an expert witness.
