Gary Taylor, a 41-year-old businessman, was acquitted of rape charges after cellphone footage of the accuser actively taking part in the said sex act was shown off in court. According to the prosecution, Taylor had arrived at the house of a 27-year-old woman with cocaine and a bottle of wine and after getting the woman drunk, he proceeded to rape her. There were two charges of oral penetration.
The judge warned: 'You are going to see a clip which from what I have been told you may find extremely distasteful. To avoid making it a peep show, I have ordered the public gallery to be cleared.'
After the footage was screened, Miss Holt said to the alleged victim: 'You and Mr Taylor were very familiar with each other and comfortable in each other's presence.'
The woman said: 'I don't think I was happily talking to him.'
She also denied 'actively' performing a sex act on Mr Taylor.
The prosecution offered no evidence following advice from the judge.
Mr Taylor, who runs a multimedia company, was cleared of four charges of rape and walked free from court.
