Actor Masterson's ex says she had to pull hair to stop rape.
A woman testified Wednesday that she was five years into a relationship with actor Danny Masterson when ติดตั้งสล็อต xo she awoke to find he was raping her as she slept and took drastic measures to get him to stop.
“I tried pushing him off me and saying no I dont want to have sex with you,” the woman, identified in court only as Christina B., said. “He wouldn stop stopping. So I did something that I knew would make him angry and likely to get off me. I pulled his hair. He has these rules, 'no touch hair rule,' no touch face rule. 'He had this thing about his hair, so I knew if I pulled it really, really hard, he would get off me. But what he did was he hit me. ”
Masterson's lawyer Thomas Mesereau denied the incident described in court Wednesday was rape.
Christina B. was the second of three accusers of the 45-year-old “That '70s Show” actor to testify in Los Angeles Superior Court at a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to order Masterson to stand trial on three counts. of rape. Masterson has pleaded not guilty, and Mesereau has said he would prove his innocence.
The November incident Christina B. described came in November 2001, in the house she and Masterson would share throughout their six-year relationship. Under questioning from Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller, she said he hit her across the face with a loosely held fist then finally stopped, spat on her and called her “white trash.”
Christina B. chose to be identified by her real first name in court and has spoken publicly about the assault before. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they were victims of sexual abuse.
During cross-examination, Mesereau said that she was telling a different story than she had in her interviews with police and prosecutors.
"You never said he was having sex with you, did you, you said he was trying to, correct?" Mesereau asked.
The defense then played a tape of an interview with a police detective with Christina B. saying "correct" when the detective asked if Masterson was trying to have sex with her, then played recording of an interview with Mueller where she said Masterson was “putting himself inside me. ”
In court, she responded that she had been using different language to describe the same thing.
Christina B. said in another incident a month later that is not cited in the charges that she blacked out, woke in pain and learned from Masterson he had raped her while she was unconscious. That prompted her to go to ethics officials at the Church of Scientology, which she had joined in 1996 at the urging of Masterson, a prominent member. |
