Russell Brand was a ‘sexual predator’, prosecution alleges as rape trial begins

Pinheiro told jurors that Brand had told him he may have gone a "bit too far" with a woman when ing the Labour Party conference in 1999.

Russell Brand was described as "ruthless" and a "sexual predator" by the prosecution at the start of his trial for rape and sexual assault on Wednesday.

Pinheiro was pressed under cross-examination about whether he accurately remembered the comment, but he told the court he was sure Brand had said "things may have gone a little bit too far" or "I may have taken things a little too far".
