The woman, visibly shaken in court, denied any consensual element, saying she felt pressured, didn’t understand what was happening, and repeatedly told Ward she needed to leave. The defense countered that the encounter was consensual, citing her attraction to Ward — but her emotional testimony and her friend’s account of her distress paint a harrowing picture. Ward denies all allegations, claiming consensual sex and foreplay. The jury continues to hear evidence as the trial unfolds.
