A Fijian British Army Corporal is standing trial in Scotland for allegedly sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl between March 2013 and March 2015.
He told a court he had been asleep on his bed following a drinking session when the 12‑year‑old girl climbed on top of him and started kissing him.
But the corporal who has completed four tours of Afghanistan with the 2 Scots Regiment, said he immediately pushed the girl off him when he opened his eyes and saw the person on top of him was not his wife.
He said he failed to tell his wife what had happened because he was confused about the whole incident.
The court heard evidence from the girl’s mother who said she had confronted the soldier on several occasions after her daughter told her she had been molested by the drunk corporal.
The mother said she noticed a change in her daughter following the incident but that the pair found it difficult to talk about what had taken place in the bedroom.
