AN ALLEGED Bradford rapist told his victim their encounter in a hotel room had been video recorded because he was a footballer and at risk from being targeted for 'kiss and tell stories'.

Nathan Campbell told the woman, who could remember nothing of the event, that the video was harmless and showed him and co-accused Simon Lenighan "running around the room", Doncaster Crown Court was told today.

A jury heard police later informed the woman that the telephone video showed her laid on a bed being filmed in graphic detail, rather than "under a duvet, telling them to go away" as Campbell had claimed.

The hearing has already been told that Campbell, 24, of Great Horton, was not the footballer he claimed to be.

Giving evidence, the woman told the hearing: "He said previously a girl had tried to do a kiss and tell and he was doing it to support his back to show that everything was consensual and above board.

"I thought that is weird, but that he had to do that, it's fine. I believed him."

The woman had gone back to an Ibis hotel with the pair and woke the following day with no memory of what had happened and with her days-old iphone missing.

The handset had an 'app' link to her Facebook account and later when Lenighan had been arrested she got a message from Campbell - who she did not know - saying "are you serious".

Both men are each facing three charges of rape and one of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

During her evidence the woman said she had relied on the accounts of Lenighan, 20, who was a footballer she already knew, and Campbell, whom she did not, to explain what had gone off in the room.

She said their accounts involved sex with Lenigham and performing a sex act on Campbell and she said: "I was horrified I had done that. I didn't know whether I had consented or not but I trusted my friend.

"I know from my character I would never engage in sexual activity with two people, one of whom I had only just met."

The jury heard messages which passed between them via text and Facebook, and she said: "I understood him to be saying he was not the instigator of anything.

"It was all my fault and he was being victimised."

She told police she wanted to drop the case, basing her decision on the accounts both men had given her, she said.

"I was lost, young and naive and thought I was doing the best," she told the hearing.

The accounts of her behaviour provided by Lenighan and Campbell made her feel like a "Jekyll and Hyde" character and "on top of that I had the guilt that other people's lives were being ruined" she said.

The trial continues.
