A man accused of multiple rapes told a teenager that he liked it when she said no, a court has heard.
Ruaridh Gilmour, 23, of Pitglassie, denies four counts of rape as well as charges of assault, sexual assault and sexual activity with older children.
The charges relate to four separate complainers and are alleged to have occurred over a five-year period up to 2019.
He has lodged special defences of consent to one rape charge and self-defence to one assault charge.
In evidence led by advocate depute John McElroy a woman told the court from behind a privacy screen that Gilmour had forced himself on her despite her protestations.
‘He liked it when I said no’
She said: “When I said no he whispered in my ear and said that he liked it when I said no.”
She also claimed that Gilmour had bitten her around her breasts, sometimes drawing blood and leaving her bruised, and had assaulted her with a sex toy.
“He felt that hurting me was an achievement, he gloated about it and said that he enjoyed it,” the woman told the jury.
The woman rejected a suggestion from defence advocate Jim Keegan QC that the things she described had been part of consensual experimentation between two young people.
In recorded evidence, a second witness told the court that she had told Gilmour no “a handful of times” before he took her into a bathroom and undressed her.
She said she then silently endured his forced attentions because she “didn’t want him to get angry”.
Rape accused made tea ‘as if nothing had happened’
The woman said the incident made her feel “dirty” but that afterwards Gilmour “just pulled his trousers back up and continued to go and make tea as if nothing had happened”.
When it was suggested to her by the defence that “nothing happened in the bathroom” she replied: “Plenty happened in the bathroom, everything I said happened in the bathroom.”
The trial, before Judge Graham Buchanan, continues.
