Ched Evans rape charge

A court has heard Sheffield United's Ched Evans and another footballer "procured" a drunk teenage girl and raped, while two of their friends watched and filmed it.

The 23 year old, who also plays for Wales, denies the attack along with Clayton McDonald.

The attack allegedly took place at a Premier Inn near Rhyl in North Wales during a bank holiday last May.

John Philpotts, prosecuting, told Caernarfon Crown Court that Port Vale defender McDonald and Evans had admitted having sex with the woman. She cannot be named for legal reasons, but Mr Philpotts said she was too drunk to consent to sexual intercourse. He added that while the attack happened Jack Higgins, an "associate" of the footballers, and Ryan Roberts, Evans's brother, had watched through a window. Video recordings found on Mr Higgins's phone showed that he had been filming or trying to film the incident.
