Louise Nicholas' flatmate gives evidence

A former flatmate of Louise Nicholas says she had no way of knowing whether her friend was happy about having sex with the men she has accused of rape.

A statement from the woman who flatted with Mrs Nicholas in 1985 and 1986 has been read to the High Court.

In it she says two of the accused, Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton, would come around to their flat and have sex with one or both of them.

In a 1995 statement the woman told police Mrs Nicholas 'certainly wasn't saying no'. In a more recent statement, she says that made it sound like Mrs Nicholas was totally accepting of it.

The woman says what she meant was that Louise Nicholas was not 'kicking and screaming'
