UK soldier accused of raping gay<\/a> teen<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

A soldier is being accused of raping two women<\/a>, one of them gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steven Maher, a married man<\/a> from Leigh in Greater Manchester, is accused of raping an 18-year-old lesbian<\/a> after a night out in Wigan in March 2010.<\/p>\n

The two of them were part of a group who had spent the evening drinking and had ended up back home in Leigh.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim claims that despite telling him that she was gay<\/a> and not interested, he took her into a bedroom and raped her.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that, before the violent act, he said to her ‘you know you want to.’<\/p>\n

This was only discovered after a woman<\/a> came forward to say she had been raped at his barracks in Wiltshire, Liverpool Crown Court heard.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Maher denies the two rape offenses.<\/p>\n

The case continues.<\/p>\n
