- A court was shown photographs of a topless Russell Brand taken by a woman who alleges that he raped her in a hotel room.
- The alleged victim stated in a recorded police interview that the incident occurred in a Bournemouth hotel room where she was staying during the Labour Party conference.
- She recalled being shocked when Brand appeared in his briefs after she went to the bathroom, before he forced her to take photographs of him on her camera.
- The court heard how the woman felt frightened as Brand pranced around, comparing his exaggerated movements to an ostrich and Basil Fawlty's famous goose steps.
- The complainant alleged that immediately after forcing her to take the pictures, Brand pushed her onto the bed, removed her trousers, and raped her. He denies all the charges – the trial continues.
