Mum 'raped' after going out for drink
The 24-year-old yesterday told the High Court in Livingston she met her attacker outside a pub in Bathgate and went to his house in Moorelands, Addiewell, for a drink.
She said the situation turned nasty when she said she wanted to go home. The court heard her underwear was removed and she was chased around the house, pinned down, slapped and passed out after he banged her head on the floor. When she came round, she was naked in bed and was being raped.
