A woman who claims she was raped by disgraced TV star Russell Brand has waived her anonymity – and has opened up on how she says he treated her when they were together, and how she ended the relationship after finding another woman in his house.
And Alice Latter, then aged just 16, also claimed he “forced” her against a headboard and “orally raped me”. Latter was known in the ITV/ITN documentary shown earlier this week as “Alice”, who during pre-trial court hearings, it emerged was in a relationship with Brand when he was 30 years old and she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl.
Back in 2023, Brand, who is now serving 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others, faced his first public accusations of sexual misconduct involving multiple women through investigations by the Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches. Among his accusers was Alice, who has now come forward.

She told The Times: “He ended up forcing me against the headboard [of the bed] and I couldn’t move, and he orally raped me – and I was choking and crying,” she said. “I was trying to push him off, so he knew that I didn’t want him to be doing that, and so then I ended up having to hit him in the stomach to get him off. I’ve never hit anyone [before] and … he said: ‘I just wanted to see your mascara run’
During a previous interview on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Alice claimed Brand had nicknamed her “The Child” during their time together, when he was 30 years old and a BBC star
She also claimed that her education suffered considerably following her involvement with Brand, and she subsequently developed an eating disorder. When she publicly accused Brand of sexual misconduct, she alleged she had been transported in BBC vehicles and collected from school to be taken to the comedian’s residence.
Brand is now in prison
And it as at that residence that she claims she tried to end the relationship – but Brand didn’t react well to it.
She said, recalling how she arrived at the flat only to find another woman there, and a third woman pulling up in a taxi at the same time as her.
It was the third woman that she asked where she was going, to which she replied: “I think I’m going to the same place you just came from.”
She claimed saw Brand run out of his place wearing just his underwear, shouting: “Don’t speak to each other!”
Today, she said: “Now I’m an adult, it’s just insane to even look at a teenager as a romantic prospect. I just don’t know how you look at a 16-year-old with anything other than kindness and compassion.”
