Two professional footballers have been accused of raping a teenage woman in a hotel bedroom as other men looked on through a window and one of them filmed what was happening.Sheffield United striker Ched Evans and Port Vale defender Clayton McDonald allegedly attacked the victim who was "very drunk indeed" and "in no fit state" to consent to sex.
The players are on trial at Caernarfon Crown Court charged with raping the woman in the Premier Inn, at Rhuddlan, near Rhyl, in May last year.
Prosecutor John Philpotts said Evans had booked a room "with the main or sole purpose of procuring a girl, or girls, later that night".
He said that both footballers were "on the lookout for any girl who was... suitable" and that the alleged victim "literally stumbled across their path" after McDonald had seen her falling over in a kebab shop and escorted her in a taxi to the hotel.
She ended up in a room with the two footballers, the court heard.
The jury was told that hotel receptionist Gary Burrough was aware of two other males waiting outside the hotel and went to investigate. Read More
