Anonymous Russell Brand victim reveals her identity after rape conviction: “Justice has been served”

London, UK – After actor and comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to more than a decade behind bars for rape, one of his victims has spoken out publicly for the first time under her real name.

When she met the then‑30‑year‑old Brand while shopping, Mia Latter was only 16. What followed was a relationship marked by fear and violence.

In an interview with the British Times, the now‑37‑year‑old has revealed her identity for the first time and leveled serious abuse allegations against the recently convicted rapist.

According to Latter, she randomly encountered the TV star during a shopping trip in London in 2006.

Brand inspected her purchases and picked out a dress for her to wear on their first date. He then asked for her phone number and contacted her later that same day.

Latter said she told him she was only 16. “I thought that the second I said, ‘I’m 16,’ he was going to block me,” she recalled.

But the opposite happened: Brand did not have “even a moment’s hesitation” and invited her out to dinner.

Looking back, she says that was probably his fetish: “He likes me because I’m 16 and a virgin.”

Latter accused the comedian of emotionally and sexually abusing her during their three‑month liaison, claiming he even forced her to perform oral sex.

“I was choking and crying,” Latter recalled, describing how she desperately tried to break free.

Only after she punched Brand in the stomach did he stop and say, “I just wanted to see your mascara run.”

Even after the relationship ended, Latter says she struggled for a long time with the aftermath. She dropped out of school and later suffered from depression.

Back in 2023, she made her allegations public – though anonymously at the time. Her case, however, was not part of the recent criminal trial.

In early November, Brand was found guilty of rape and three sexual assaults against four women. Latter now feels that “justice has been served.”
