Mia Latter waived her anonymity to reveal she was 16 when Russell Brand allegedly subjected her to a three-month relationship and sexual assaults in 2006, as reported by The Independent.
Latter, now 37, previously appeared under the pseudonym Alice in coverage by the Sunday Times, The Times, and a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary. She shared her allegations with authorities, but prosecutors did not include her case in the recent trial that resulted in Brand’s conviction, according to Page Six.
Brand was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation after receiving Latter’s allegation.
The comedian and actor-turned-influencer gained broader international recognition following his work in film comedies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, and Arthur, alongside a high-profile marriage to singer Katy Perry. Prior to his trial, allegations of sexual misconduct concerning Brand were initially brought to light by The Times, the Sunday Times, and Channel 4’s Dispatches in 2023.
During the legal proceedings, a British judge described Brand as a sexual predator who displayed staggering arrogance. The trial itself followed British police pressing charges against Brand in April 2025 across multiple counts involving incidents spanning from 1999 to 2005. Legal authorities outlined accusations relating to an incident in Bournemouth in 1999, an indecent assault in Westminster in 2001, and further offenses in Westminster between 2004 and 2005.
Court testimony also featured accounts from individuals such as Laura Gallacher, his wife since 2017 and mother of their three children, as well as testimony from a former personal assistant and a former roommate regarding his behavior and ambitious sexual goals.
Under cross-examination by prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones, Brand acknowledged pursuing beyond reckless philandering in his earlier life and admitted that he grew comfortable using his fame to facilitate sexual access, stating that behavior was wrong. He also said that his entire life had been consumed by these events and accusations.
Latter is now campaigning for a staggered age of consent that would make relationships between adults and teenagers under the age of 18 a criminal offense, according to The Independent. She recalled that after meeting Brand in Leicester Square in 2006, she gave him her phone number, initiating a tumultuous three-month relationship that resulted in her grades dipping, suffering from depression, and ultimately failing to complete her A-levels.
Earlier in the year, Brand addressed their past during an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show, confirming that he slept with a 16-year-old when he was 30 years old. When police suggested her case might be part of a subsequent trial, Latter was told that decisions shifted following Brand’s appearances on media programs hosted by Megyn Kelly and Piers Morgan, leaving her devastated by the turn of events.
