We do not republish articles from The Guardian. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that the government will consider calls for a staggered age of consent after Mia Latter waived her anonymity to allege that Russell Brand raped her when she was 16. It attributes each allegation, carries the denials from Brand and David Walliams, and gives the police and CPS account of where Latter's case stands. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“alleged she had been orally raped by the jailed comedian when she was a teenager and he was 30 years old”
The Guardian keeps Latter's account as an allegation, since her case was not part of Brand's trial. It still states plainly the ages that make the allegation matter.
“Brand denied all of the allegations made against him by Latter when they were first reported in 2023 by the Times.”
The Guardian gives Brand's denial of this specific allegation. The reader can then tell an untested claim apart from the four convictions reported in S21.
