Jurors heard that after the earlier of the two alleged attacks, the woman awoke the next morning with a scratch at her nose.<\/p>\n
Asked if he knew how that happened, Robertson stated: “I have no idea. I had feather pillows. They scratch me regularly.<\/p>\n
“I did nothing here to cause the scratching.”<\/p>\n
Robertson accepted there had been “friction” before the other alleged assault after a plan to see the then latest Hobbit film was aborted, but denied he had been violent with the woman.<\/p>\n
He also insisted he did not “harass” her or track her movements, claiming the Graze box subscription had been “set up” for the woman.<\/p>\n
The defence KC went on to probe Robertson about claims he raped the third woman – who he knew from River City – between 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n
He told the jury he had consensual sex “on a number of occasions” with her.<\/p>\n
Allan put to him: “Did you ever detect in her reaction to any of your sexual overtures that she did not want to engage in intercourse with you?”<\/p>\n
Robertson: “Absolutely not. I am aware to know if the person is not as present as I am in what we are doing.<\/p>\n
“I am sensitive enough to be aware there are non-verbal ways to communicate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jurors heard that after the earlier of the two alleged attacks, the woman awoke the next morning with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-645724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
