TRIAL: Adam Burdall arrives at Hull Crown Court

A CHRISTIAN who vowed not to have sex before marriage raped a woman while she slept and while she was unconscious through drugs, a court heard.

Adam Burdall, 23, is accused of four counts of rape, which he denies.

Giving evidence in Mr Burdall's trial at Hull Crown Court, Andrew Jefferson, who was projects director at Christ Church, Bridlington, said Mr Burdall told him he raped the woman when he visited the church in a "distressed" state around Christmas 2012.

Mr Jefferson said Mr Burdall wanted to see the vicar, and seeing he was so upset, showed him into a room because he wanted to help.
