ACCUSED: Samuel Armstrong “mood-killer” song came on.

He said: “After a little while she said, ‘Some people are going to think that you have taken advantage of me’, but it was in a sort of teasing voice.

“I responded, ‘I’m not sure anyone could come to that conclusion’.”

Mr Armstrong said the woman then sat on top of him and they began to have sex.

He told the court: “I said to her, ‘How does the size suit the lady?’, which is something I have heard tailors say. was arrested, he said: “I didn’t really know what to think.

“I thought there must have been some sort of mistake.

“It must have been that they had got the wrong name.”

He added: “It was just like somebody had punched me in the stomach. I was winded.”

Mr Armstrong said he regretted having sex in his boss’s office and added that his life had been turned upside down since the allegation was made last year.

He said: “It was foolish. It was an act of enormous foolishness and as a consequence I have had the worst year of my life.”

He added that he had been unable to work or sleep and would “never, ever, ever” get his career back.

He said: “While what I did is foolish, the point is I’m innocent of this and for whatever reason somebody is trying to make a horrible, horrible, horrible allegation.

“The point is on this allegation, somebody is trying to send me to prison for a very long time for something I didn’t do.”

The trial continues.
