Man accused of raping friend’s lover

He is alleged to have ‘snuck’ into the room after his friend left before climbing into bed with the woman, who mistook him for the man she had just had sex with.

The defendant denies rape and indecent assault. On Wednesday, giving evidence from behind a screen in the Royal Court, the woman told jurors of the moment the bedroom lights were switched on and the man returned to the room.

‘I didn’t understand why the person who was in bed with me was not the person I thought he was,’ she said.

The trial continues.

Although the JEP has included the name of the defendant in the print edition, we will only publish it online if he is convicted.

Full story in Thursday’s JEP.
