Rape trial told woman agreed to group sex
A BOUNCER accused of gang-raping a 21-year-old woman told a jury she stripped naked and volunteered to have sex with him and two of his friends.
James Hyndman told the High Court in Perth yesterday said they had been "having a laugh and joking" before taking part in group sex with the woman's consent after she invited them all to her flat in Bathgate.
He said one of the four men she invited back was banished from the bedroom when she told them she would have sex with three of them, but not four.
Hyndman, 23, said: "I asked her if she was all right. It's not something that happens every day. It was a reassurance sort of thing. She smiled and said 'aye'. If she had said no I would have stopped there and then. No means no."
Steven O'Rourke, 24, and Hyndman, both HMP Edinburgh, are alleged to have raped the woman on 10 or 11 February this year.
The trial continues.
