A man has admitted sending a video of a woman having sex to her family on Christmas Day but has denied coercing her into the encounter.
Clive Weatherhogg is standing trial at Dundee Sheriff Court accused of coercing the woman into having sex with a man he found over the internet and making them film their liaisons.
He is also alleged to have sent a text to the woman’s family over Christmas 2014 showing her with Edward Amobi, who claims Weatherhogg set up a string of hotel sex liaisons.
Giving evidence in his defence yesterday, Weatherhogg denied being the “driving force” behind the rendezvous.
He said he had met Mr Amobi “twice” and that the woman had “wanted us all to be friends”, claiming “I never asked to be in the room when they had sex. She was pulling the strings.”
He said he regretted sending the video.
Weatherhogg, 42, of Balmalcolm, by Cupar, denies three charges under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act, one under the Communications Act and one of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.
The coercion is said to have taken place between September 10 2013 and September 17 2014, at addresses in Kent and Fife, with the videos allegedly sent on December 22 and December 25 2014.
The trial, before Sheriff George Way and a jury of nine men and six women, continues.
