One of Russell Brand’s accusers revealed her identity in an interview with The Sunday Times, stating that the comedian allegedly sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old.
Mia Latter, now 37, spoke to the newspaper about their tumultuous three-month relationship that began after they met in Leicester Square in 2006. Latter claimed that her grades dipped, she dropped out of school, and she suffered from depression as a consequence of the relationship.
The two first met at a Spanish restaurant, where Latter alleged Brand told her in front of a male friend, “I don’t give a f*** how old you are.” “I just need to know where I stand legally.”
Upon their arrival at his residence, a place she was initially hesitant to visit, Latter recounted that she attempted to push him away as he was performing oral sex on her, to which he replied, “No.” She said that despite his assurance that nothing further would transpire, he allegedly exposed himself before a cab arrived to pick her up.
Mia Latter Reveals Identity as Brand Accuser
- Mia Latter revealed her identity as one of Brand’s accusers two decades after their relationship ended in 2006.
- Latter previously used the pseudonym “Alice” in reports by The Sunday Times, The Times, and a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary, as noted by Us Weekly.
- Brand is currently serving a 10-year and 6-month prison sentence following his conviction for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against other women.
Police Investigate Latter Allegations Separately from Criminal Trial
Latter recently shared her claims with police, but her allegations were not included in the criminal suit that led to Brand’s conviction. According to The Independent, the Metropolitan Police said that they are still investigating the alleged rape.
Latter explained to the media that police wanted her to be part of a subsequent trial. However, she claimed she was told her case would not make it to the October trial because authorities did not want it to become “the Alice show.”
“They wanted me to be part of a subsequent trial, but they said that the decision was made after he had done the Megyn Kelly and the Piers Morgan interviews,” Latter told Us Weekly, adding that she was devastated by the exclusion.
Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of attacks against four of the six women who gave evidence against him. Brand has maintained his innocence despite his conviction.
Brand Admits to Past Sexual Encounter with Teenager
During an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show in April, Brand admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old when he was 30. Brand described himself at the time as an “immature 30-year-old,” while noting that the age of consent in the U.K. is 16.
“He was a very successful man who had a lot of power and sway in the industry. Whereas I was a 16-year-old with no life experience, no sexual experience and no prior relationships. What was my level of maturity meant to be?” Latter told The Independent regarding Brand’s comments.
Following Brand’s sentencing, Megyn Kelly addressed the verdict on her YouTube show on Monday, November 9. “I don’t believe the charges,” Kelly said, while also noting, “I think we all sort of agree that … adults shouldn’t be allowed to have sexual relationships with children, with somebody under the age of 18. That really doesn’t seem like a gigantic leap to take.”
Latter said that she decided to speak out publicly now so she could focus on her campaign, noting the heavy personal toll the process has taken. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said that officers launched an investigation in January 2026 after receiving an allegation of rape, and detectives sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service as the inquiry continues.
