The last of the four US Marines on trial for allegedly raping a Filipina took the witness stand yesterday and testified that their accuser had consensual sex with one of them in the van where the alleged rape took place.


"I could hear kissing, moaning, laughter coming from the van," Lance Corporal Dominic Duplantis, 21, told defense lawyer Enrico Oyehara on direct examination.

                    [Summary] => A 21-year-old US Marine accused of raping a 22-year-old Filipina testified in court yesterday that they had consensual sex, and that he did not rape her.


The trial resumed yesterday after a three-week break.


On direct examination by Ricardo Diaz, one of the lawyers for the defense, Lance Corporal Daniel Smith told the Makati City regional trial court the woman, known only as "Nicole," had her hands on his genitals while they were kissing in a moving van at the Subic Bay Freeport on Nov. 1 last year.

Lawyers of four United States Marines standing trial for rape grilled the complainant yesterday on her "selective memory" regarding how she was allegedly sexually assaulted on the night of Nov. 1 last year.


During yesterday’s hearing, Patricia Formoso, one of Lance Corporal Daniel Smith’s lawyers, grilled the complainant on how she claims to recall the kinds of alcoholic drinks she had at the Neptune Club at the Subic Freeport, as well as how each drink was served, but could not tell what time she had them.
