A WOMAN has told a jury that she feared she was going to be raped when a masked gunman burst into her home.

The 33-year-old said she handed over £2,000 to the raider, but he demanded more cash and told her she was "getting used as a sex slave".

She told the High Court in Glasgow that a man wearing a thick stocking mask over his face barged into the static caravan where she and her fiance were living while their home was being built.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was giving evidence at the trial of Thomas Feeney, 47.

He denies robbing and sexually assaulting the woman at a property near Shotts, North Lanarkshire, on September 5 last year with intent to rape.

It is alleged that Feeney robbed her of £2,000, car keys, a BMW 3 series car and a pink thong and purple bra.

Feeney also denies a firearms offence by using an imitation gun.

The woman said that the raid happened at 8.35am as she was getting ready for work.

She said she was pushed into the bedroom and her wrists, eyes and mouth were bound with duct tape.

"He said he was taking me with him and I was getting used as a sex slave. I started shouting: 'Don't take me with you. You can't take me with you.'

"He opened the bedroom door and pushed me on to the bed face first. I thought he was going to rape me."

The court heard that the gunman pulled up her top and pulled down her trousers before sexually assaulting her.

The trial continues.
