Ebbsfleet United defender Patrick Ada has accused the victim that he is alleged to have forced to perform oral sex on him of 'leading him on', a court has heard.

The 27-year-old, who is on trial at Woolwich Crown Court, is alleged to have forced a 25-year-old female to perform a sex act on him after drinking vodka with her and a friend.

The court heard that the former Burton Albion player later sent a text message to the victim saying, "Sorry, I was drunk," as well as calling her friend and claiming, "Sorry I forced her, she led me on."

Ada, who committed the alleged incident in March, denies rape.
