I counted 60 second blocks as my superior sodomised me
A junior Navy officer alleges she was sodomised by a superior who pinned her down on her bed and told her: “Shh, just let it happen.”
“Scott Christopher Devonport Ward is on trial at the Auckland District Court on a charge sexual violation by way of an unlawful sexual connection with a junior naval officer in October 2011.”
The officers were in Wellington celebrating 70th anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Navy [aka, “The Rape Navy”] on the day of the alleged rape.
The woman said the incident of anal penetration was “really painful” and “very violent”.
“I kept trying to pull away and I tried to elbow him with my left elbow but … I was pinned. I said stop, I said no. And he said, ‘Shh just let it happen. He just kept going and going.”
Unable to move, she counted in 60 second blocks to try distract herself from what was happening.
