[J]URORS have heard a girl claim she was raped in Workington by a group of schoolboys who, she says, took “50-second turns” without her consent.
Four boys, all teenagers under 16, have gone on trial at Carlisle Crown Court. They each deny two rape allegations, and further deny a charge alleging an additional sexual assault.
It is alleged they carried out a “brutal sexual attack and a gang rape” of the 15-year-old girl in a muddy and dark Workington field on the evening of January 3 last year.
Today (TUES), jurors watched an interview the girl gave to police after the incident. She alleged each of the four boys had raped and sexually assaulted her once, and claimed “at least three of them” raped her an additional time.
“They just all kept taking, like 50-second turns, coz I remember one of them saying ‘we can’t just keeping 50-second turns, we’ve got to go all out’,” the girl told an officer. She added: “I was thinking ‘this seriously hurts’. And I wanted it to stop.”
The officer asked: “Would you have consented to any of these sexual acts?”
“No,” the girl replied.
The boys are said to each insist that all sexual activity was with the “full and complete consent” of the girl, who admits drinking two cans of cider earlier that evening.
The trial continues.
