A solicitor has told a court she was left hysterical and vomiting after a male stripper allegedly 'jiggled her breasts' and forced her legs open during a party at Crieff Hydro. The woman, who was the bride-to-be, said she repeatedly said 'no thank you' to Stuart Kennedy, but he continued despite her discomfort.
The trial at Perth Sheriff Court heard that Kennedy, 42, dressed as a firefighter and burst into the lodge where the party was being held. The woman said she 'froze' and felt forced to participate in the show, which had been secretly arranged by one of her sisters.
She told the court: 'His crotch was within half a foot of my face. I was trying to communicate that I was not a willing participant. He forced his hands between my thighs to open my legs. I resisted it but I was also frightened.' She added that Kennedy 'violated' her and licked her nose with his tongue.
The woman's sister, who paid around £400 to hire Kennedy from AlphaMale Strippers & Butlers, said she immediately realised it was a mistake. 'I knew straight away when I saw my sister's face that it was a bad call. She was physically cringing. It was too handsy and too forced,' she told the trial.
Kennedy denies sexually assaulting the woman, including repeatedly handling her thighs and private parts, attempting to kiss her, and handling her breasts. He also denies intentionally causing her to participate in sexual activity by sitting on her, seizing her by the head, and restraining her. The trial continues.
