But … if you’re in your thirties, forties and fifties and you’re trying to have a relationship with someone under the age of 18, it [should be] a criminal offence…”“Now I’m an adult, it’s just insane to even look at a 16-year-old with anything other than kindness and compassion,” Mia expressed.Noting the current age of consent was set in 1885, she added, “It’s that couple of days difference you can….

I think we can review some laws from that period.”Mia met Russell, who was jailed for ten-and-a-half years earlier this week, while out shopping and, after exchanging text messages, she confessed her age but insisted he didn't care.She said, “I thought that the second I said, ‘I’m 16’ he was going to block me.

He’d be horrified, and that’d be the end of it.”Instead, he asked if she still wanted to meet the following day for dinner. “There wasn’t even a moment’s hesitation,” Mia recalled.As their relationship developed, Russell had told her to keep their romance secret from their friends, but she insisted those around him knew, with him referring to Mia as “The Child” in front of his entourage.Russell Brand also warned Mia….

It doesn’t quite add up, does it?”Mia believes her age was more of an attraction to Russell, now 51, than who she really was, and he barely took the time to get to know her.She stated, “He wasn’t interested in me for me.

I felt like this is his fetish.

He likes me because I’m 16 and a virgin … and I was just ticking this box for him.

I could’ve been any other 16-year-old.”The 37-year-old is now focusing on her consent campaign, rather than pushing for the Arthur actor to be brought to justice for his alleged treatment of her.She said, “I just don’t know what capacity I have to give years more of my life to this, for my head to be occupied with these awful crimes.

And it takes a toll on your personal life, on your marriage.

I feel as though I haven’t been the world’s greatest mum at times, because I’ve been so upset, and I haven’t been the greatest daughter [or] sister.”Additionally, Mia Latter is in awe of the women who gave evidence during Russell Brand’s trial. “They put him away.

Some women didn’t get the guilty verdict, but it was definitely a team effort, and I will forever be grateful to them.

I’d waited since I was 16 thinking, ‘It’s gonna happen soon — somebody’s gonna out him’ … I feel like justice has been served.” Russell Brand accuser comes forward with identity for justice campaign November 15, 2026.
