A Royal Navy sailor sexually assaulted a female US sailor after downing beers and margaritas whilst they were stationed on a remote island together, a court martial has heard.
Leading Seaman Paul Morby allegedly had a shower in the woman's bathroom before telling her to lie down with him whilst they were both stationed on Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The court heard the woman had invited him over in the afternoon after they met at a bar days before, but he did not turn up until 9.30pm drunk.
Bulford Military Court was told he drank three beers and two strawberry flavoured margarita cocktails before turning up to see the woman.
He and took off his shorts and told her to 'calm down' because 'it's just a penis' before sexually assaulting her further, the panel was told.
The court heard she felt 'numb' and 'tense' during the ordeal before she ran to the bathroom screaming at him to leave her alone.
The following day, 'LH Morby texted her and said he felt terrible about his antics last night'.
He denies two counts of sexual assault.
