ALT Louisa Compton, Director of News, Digital and Audience Trust at Channel 4 said: “The outcome of the Russell Brand trial belongs to all of the women who had the courage to speak out – all of those who participated in the criminal process and those different women who shared their testimony in the original Channel 4 Dispatches and The Sunday Times and The Times investigation. “The trial heard that women involved in the criminal case came forward after seeing the Channel 4 Dispatches film. It is a powerful demonstration of why fearless, independent, investigative journalism in the public interest matters. We remain profoundly grateful to every woman who trusted the Channel 4 reporting team.”
