UK: Rape claim is a set up, court hears

Story here. Excerpt:

'A DOG-OWNER accused of rape claims he has been set up by a woman who changed her mind about selling her pet to him.

Stephen Tuggey, 42, is alleged to have crept into the 57-year-old’s bedroom and forced himself on her after arranging to drive more than 100 miles to bring her beloved dog back to South Wales to see her on her birthday.

She called police to her Cardiff home after her daughter saw blood on her dressing gown and she broke down saying she had been attacked.

But Tuggey told police who arrested him: “She consented – going up to bed together was her suggestion, she was waiting for me on the landing.”
...
They still had a pub lunch together as planned but when they got back and he fell asleep, her mother started crying and said she wanted him out of the house.

Tuggey denies rape and sexual assault. The woman cannot be named.'

"The woman cannot be named." - but the man can.
