A jury has been sent out in the trial of a University Challenge contestant accused of raping a fellow student.
Bartholomeo Joly de Lotbiniere, 21, is on trial at York Crown Court over an alleged incident at a halls of residence in June 2014.
The complainant told the jury that Joly de Lotbiniere came into her room after they had been on a night out and then had sex with her as she tried to push him off.
She went to the police more than a year on from the alleged offence after Joly de Lotbiniere appeared on University Challenge, representing York University.
The defendant, of Kensal Rise, north-west London, said what happened between them was consensual, and described it as a "failed one night stand" as he did not have a strong erection.
He told the jury he was sexually inexperienced.
Joly de Lotbiniere, now studying for a Masters degree at University College London, denies rape and sexual assault.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
