Mia Latter, who claims she was raped by Russell Brand at 16, is advocating for a staggered age of consent law. In a recent interview, she emphasized the need for legal changes to protect minors from relationships with significantly older adults. Latter was one of six women who made allegations against Brand in 2023, although she did not participate in his recent criminal trial.
Brand was sentenced to 10.5 years for rape and sexual assault, while Latter has chosen to focus on her campaign rather than pursue criminal proceedings. She argues that while relationships between teenagers should not be criminalized, adult relationships with minors should be legally prohibited.
