Teen lesbian rape case looks like it wasn't
In Bermuda, the Magistrates' Court heard that the defendant in a lesbian sexual assault case and the alleged victim were just "ace girls" and did not have sexual relations. The 18-year-old female defendent claimed she never met up with the 15-year-old victim that night, although she admitted seeing her on the night in question. Three of the defendant's friends, two of whom were also the victim's friends, all teenage girls, gave evidence that the defendant was somewhere else when the alleged sexual assault happened. The Crown counsel case is that after the victim had ended the lesbian relationship with the defendant, she sexually assaulted her and held her against her will at the rear of City Hall. The defense lawyer claims the victim was not sexually assaulted, but needed a scapegoat after being pressured by her mother about being a lesbian.
