When the case reached Southwark Crown Court, the woman stepped forward to give her account. She told the judge that Brand grinned like a clown and told her to 'don’t be a spoilsport' before the assault. She also said she feared being disbelieved and did not want to go through a court where somebody would tear down her character.
