Woman who accused Russell Brand hits out at Channel 4 ‘whitewash’

Woman says she feels badly let down by broadcaster, which admitted it had failed to properly investigate 2009 claim against actor

A woman who made allegations about Russell Brand to Channel 4 in 2009 has accused the broadcaster of a “whitewash” that had left her “disempowered and unsupported”.

The broadcaster said last week it had failed to properly investigate a serious allegation made against the actor and comedian 15 years ago.
