A woman who says Russell Brand sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager has decided to stop hiding her name.

Mia Latter, who is now 37, shared her story in a newspaper interview, according to reports. She says she was 16 at the time. Their relationship ended about 20 years ago.

How they met

Latter says the two crossed paths in London's Leicester Square in 2006. She gave the comedian her phone number. That kicked off a stormy romance that lasted around three months.

She says their first date was at a Spanish restaurant. With one of his male friends sitting there, she claims he told her: "I don't give a f*** how old you are. I just need to know where I stand legally."

Her allegations

Latter says she did not want to go back to his home that night. She claims that once there he performed a sex act on her while she tried to push him away. When she resisted, she says, he told her "No."

She alleges he then promised nothing more would happen. She says he exposed himself anyway before a cab came to take her home.

Latter also accuses him of sexually assaulting her a second time before they split. She says he held her against the headboard so she could not move. She says she was in tears and struggling to breathe. She says she finally had to punch his belly before he would stop.

According to Latter, Brand replied: "I just wanted to see your mascara run."

She says the relationship took a heavy toll on her. Her grades slipped. She quit school. She also battled depression.

Police and the criminal case

Latter recently brought her claims to police. They were not part of the criminal case against Brand.

A jury found Brand guilty of rape on one count. He was also convicted on three sexual assault counts. He was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison. He has denied any criminal wrongdoing.

This week six more women came forward with fresh accusations against him in a new report.
