A Scottish aristocrat sexually assaulted a woman during a drug-fuelled birthday party at his stately home, a court was told on Tuesday August 30.
Euan Tennant, 39, is alleged to have attacked the woman as the pair lay in bed along with a friend at the Glen House mansion near Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders. The alleged victim claimed Tennant stripped naked and began stroking her leg before going on to sexually assault her by penetrating her with his finger as the pair lay in bed in the dark.
The woman, who cannot be identified due to legal reasons, told a jury at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday that she was forced to flee the bedroom in tears after Tennant had assaulted her. Tennant denies the alleged sex attack - claiming the contact between the pair was consensual - and is standing trial at the capital’s sheriff court on indictment this week.
