A TRIAL is taking place for a woman accused of engaging in sexual activity with a teenage boy.

Tracey Charlesworth is on trial at Oxford Crown Court charged with two counts of being an adult engaging in sexual activity with a boy and one count of being an offender 18 or over engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a boy.

The 60-year-old has denied the offences – the jury hearing that the defence’s case is that the complainant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had sexually assaulted her on several occasions.

During the trial on Wednesday (July 17), the complainant gave evidence in court, telling a jury that he had initiated the sexual activity with Charlesworth but it wasn’t non-consensual.

In cross-examination, the defence barrister for Charlesworth said: “You removed her clothing and forced yourself on her and she made it abundantly clear that she did not want this happening.”

The complainant responded: “Incorrect.”

Continuing, the barrister asked: “Against her will, you put your penis into her vagina and she was crying, wasn’t she? You raped her.”

The complainant responded: “Incorrect.”

“It was you who instigated it, wasn’t it?” the barrister asked finally, and the complainant responded: “Yes.”

The trial of Charlesworth, of Blackbull Lane, Fencott, Oxford, continues this week. It is expected to last five to seven days.
