'Why Only Three Rapes In 10 Years?': Russell Brand's Lawyer Turns His Client's Promiscuity Into A Defense Russell Brand's defense lawyer closed his case on Monday by turning the comedian's sex life into an argument for acquittal , asking jurors at Southwark Crown Court, "Why is it that only three rapes in 10 years?" Brand, 51, denies three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault, involving six women and spanning ten years from 1999, STV reported .
He has pleaded not guilty to all seven charges, which, as we reported , were first brought against him last year. His barrister, Ian Winter KC, told the jury that "what matters is he had an immense amount of sex and none of it was unlawful," according to LBC .
"Disgusting, distasteful, immoral, who cares?" Winter added. "It's irrelevant to your consideration." Megyn Kelly walked through the closing on her show on Monday.
