AN ACTRESS claims she was sexually assaulted at the home of Still Game star Scott Reid.
The 29-year-old woman said she was left “frozen” at the hands of Kevin Guthrie, who jurors heard knew both from drama school.
The 33-year-old is on trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he denies a charge of sexual assault at a flat in Kelvindale in Glasgow’s west end.
The woman had been due to meet Guthrie and Scott at a bar on the night of the alleged attack on September 30, 2017.
But, Scott – who played Methadone Mick in BBC’s Still Game – later got a phone call to say she was unwell and needed collected from a taxi.
He and Guthrie went on to help the woman into the flat.
Scott told jurors he phoned NHS 24 as her condition became “more serious”.
He added: “I left him (Guthrie) in the bedroom to make sure she was OK while I took advice.”
Scott said he returned to the room “numerous times” and that Guthrie was “still in the same position” sitting on a box.
But, in her evidence, the woman recalled Scott not being there and bed covers “being moved down my body”.
She went on: “I remember my top being lifted up and my bra being held down.”
The woman alleged being groped by Guthrie and him performing a sex act on her.
She claimed Guthrie carried out a further two sexual acts and kissed her on the mouth.
The woman claimed he stopped whenever Scott came into the room.
When prosecutor Harry Findlay asked why she didn’t say anything, she replied: “I couldn’t...I found it difficult to communicate in any way.
“I think I was frozen as well.”
The woman recalled waking up beside Scott the next morning.
Jurors heard how he said in a police statement: “She woke up... she asked me why my trousers were undone and I said I did not know.”
Gordon Jackson QC, defending, suggested the woman was “unclear” and that “as the months pass, it is a jumble”.
But, she replied: “No.” The trial before Sheriff Tom Hughes continues.
