Woman tells Telford rape trial of kissing her friend
A woman has told a jury how she came to be alone on the night she was allegedly raped by two men.
The woman continued to give evidence at Shrewsbury Crown Court yesterday on the sixth day of the trial of two men accused of the rape in Telford.
Andrius Grikpedis, 34, of Turreff Avenue, Donnington, and 29-year-old Tomas Paplauskas, of no fixed address, both deny two charges of rape in an alley near Telford International Centre in the early hours of July 27 last year.
The teenager described how she had gone in to Vox nightclub with friends, having already had three pints to drink, and that she had been kissing one friend, called Dave.
She said. "I backed off and I don't think Dave was happy about that at all. After Dave had gone I don't know where I was. The next thing I remember I was on the grass verge."
The trial continues.
