A young woman has claimed she was repeatedly raped by a Dundee teenager — despite telling him she didn’t want to have sex.
She said Jordan Dunn, 19, had sex with her against her wishes in public places and at various addresses in Blairgowrie.
She claimed they were both aged 16 when he repeatedly forced her into “rough sex”.
Giving evidence at the High Court in Livingston, she denied being a willing sexual partner and told jurors: “If he wanted it he would take it.”
Dunn – formerly of Auchinblae Place, Dundee, but currently on remand in Polmont Young Offenders’ Institution – is accused of four counts of raping different women at various locations in Dundee, Tayside and Fife over a two-year period between June 2015 and May last year. He denies all the charges and has lodged special defences claiming each of his accusers consented to sex.
In relation to an allegation that he raped a woman at a house in Dundee on May 4 last year, he has lodged a special defence of alibi, claiming he was elsewhere with others at the time.
The first complainer told the High Court she met Dunn in 2015 and had a brief relationship with him.
She said for one of their first encounters they met at the riverside in Blairgowrie, where he wanted to have sex.
She said: “I didn’t really want to do it outside. I told him ‘no’, that I felt uncomfortable, didn’t want him doing it.
“I tried to move his hands away but his grip got a lot tighter. I ended up not being able to move his hands away.”
She said that days later Dunn missed his last bus home to Dundee and she asked her mum if he could stay the night. But she said that when she told Dunn she did not want to have sex, he “just shrugged it off”.
“It felt horrible. He was really rough and it hurt. It just didn’t feel right,” she said.
The woman claimed that on another occasion Dunn raped her in an alley in Blairgowrie.
The trial, before judge Lady Carmichael, continues.
