A WOMAN was raped outside an Oxfordshire museum while another man watched, a jury heard.

Mark Just is accused of sexually assaulting a woman, 22, in Church Lane, next to Cogges Farm, in Witney. The 26-year-old defendant, of Sedge Way, Carterton, denies two counts of rape and says the sex was consensual.

Jurors on day one of the trial at Oxford Crown Court yesterday watched a recorded interview with the alleged victim.

She admitted drinking “about 15 blueberry vodkas and lemonade” in Witney before being removed by doorstaff at The Chequers for being drunk on May 13 last year.

On her walk back to her ex-boyfriend’s home she said “randomly two guys appeared from nowhere”.

She added: “All I remember is I was on the floor and he was having sex with me. I was being forced to kiss him and he had a hand in my mouth.

“His mate who was there was telling him to get off me.”

Prosecutor Sally Mealing-Mcleod said Just and his cousin had both been formally moved on by police in Witney earlier that night but had refused to comply and remained in the town.

The trial continues.
