UK soldier accused of raping gay teen
A soldier is being accused of raping two women, one of them gay.
Steven Maher, a married man from Leigh in Greater Manchester, is accused of raping an 18-year-old lesbian after a night out in Wigan in March 2010.
The two of them were part of a group who had spent the evening drinking and had ended up back home in Leigh.
The alleged victim claims that despite telling him that she was gay and not interested, he took her into a bedroom and raped her.
It is claimed that, before the violent act, he said to her ‘you know you want to.’
This was only discovered after a woman came forward to say she had been raped at his barracks in Wiltshire, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
In June 2013, the 29-year-old alleged victim claimed that she went back to his barracks to pick up some items for her partner but Maher soon started ‘grabbing’ and ‘forcing’ himself on her.
Louise Whaites, prosecuting, then said he partially undressed her and raped her. Her ordeal only ended when she pretended to hear someone at the door and he went to investigate.
Maher denies the two rape offenses.
The case continues.
