Russell Brand's wife tells his rape trial he is 'kind and a wonderful father'

At Russell Brand’s trial at Southwark Crown Court in London, his wife Laura described him as caring, kind and a wonderful father to their children. The 39-year-old said he respected her when she did not want to have sex and that she felt seen by him. Brand denies seven charges, including three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault. Former girlfriend Elia Alvarez Diaz described him as gentle and loving, but said their relationship, which lasted from 1998 to 1999, ended after he repeatedly cheated on her.
