Shaun Attwoods True Crime Podcast

David Walliams tried to stop the allegations being published. Russell Brand has been sentenced to ten years and six months in prison. What happens next, and what has actually been established in court?
Max Palasi is joined by criminal defence lawyer Marcus Johnstone, managing director of PCD Solicitors, to examine two major stories at very different legal stages.
We begin with the allegations published by ITV News and The Guardian about David Walliams, which he denies. Why did his injunction application fail? What did the judge actually decide? And what would need to happen before published allegations could lead to criminal proceedings?
We also examine confidentiality agreements and NDAs, including the crucial difference between speaking publicly and reporting a suspected crime to the police.
Then we turn to Russell Brand’s criminal trial, his convictions for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, and his sentence of ten years and six months. We discuss the three counts on which he was acquitted, how historic allegations are investigated, and what a challenge to a conviction or sentence would require.
In this conversation:

David Walliams’s failed injunction and why publication was allowed

The distinction between allegations and proven offences

Privacy, public interest and the court’s consideration of mental health

What an NDA can and cannot prevent

Russell Brand’s convictions and acquittals

Consent, witness evidence and investigations into older allegations

How Brand’s prison sentence was calculated

Release on licence and possible appeal routes
