The victim, now 19 and living in Glasgow, told prosecutor Bernard Ablett she drank vodka and Mad Dog at a birthday party and was 'extremely drunk.' She told the court she was intoxicated and falling in and out of sleep.
She said initially the men were very polite, but added: “They started speaking sexually to me.
Talking about sex and my body and stuff like that,” She said she went with men she knew as Aivars and Ailands and other men to a flat in Glasgow.
The witness said after drinking alcohol she felt ill and went to a bedroom to lie down.
"I remember seeing some people coming in.
There were three or four people there."
