Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged rape and sexual assault as described in court. Sky News' Martin Brunt and Katie Spencer report the defence’s closing speech from the trial of Russell Brand.

He said there is "no evidence [Brand] is some kind of psychopath who rapes people and thinks it's normal"…
