UK man tells rape trial he thought snoring woman was 'roleplaying'
LONDON: A UK man accused of raping a woman whose husband invited strangers to have sex with her told a court Wednesday he heard her snoring but thought she was “roleplaying.”
Richard Wilkins, 62, is on trial in a UK court for allegedly raping Joanne Young, whose husband invited strangers to have sex with her. During the trial, Wilkins claimed he heard the woman snoring but thought she was roleplaying. He said he did not suspect she was drugged or not consenting, as she stopped snoring when he began having sex with her.
Another defendant, Connor Sanderson-Doyle, testified that the couple presented it as a kink and Young was using pawns in her "sick little game." The prosecution argued that the defendants knew the effects of the alleged sedatives but did not care about the victim's feelings.
