The government has said it will consider calls to change the age of consent after a woman waived her right to anonymity to publicly claim she was raped by Russell Brand as a 16-year-old schoolgirl.

Mia Latter, now 37, alleges she was mistreated by the jailed comedian and later nicknamed "the child" by him to his entourage.

Her allegation was reported to the Metropolitan Police.
