A young woman who alleges she was raped by footballer Ched Evans in a hotel room gave evidence on the second day of his retrial today.

The woman, then 19, was allegedly attacked by the 27-year-old striker at a Premier Inn near Rhyl, North Wales, in May 2011.

She told the court today that when she woke up "I just felt dead confused. I didn’t know where I was. I felt dazed.”

But defence barrister Judith Khan QC suggested the woman “took the lead” when having consensual sex with two other men - one shortly before the alleged rape and the other shortly afterwards.

The woman said she did not agree.

The former Manchester City and Sheffield United star, who has made 13 appearances for Wales, denies the charge against him.

Evans appeared in court for the first day of his retrial yesterday and appeared again today, supported by his fiancée and the mother of his young son, Natasha Massey.

The jury of seven women and five men were told how he had previously been convicted of raping the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

However, his conviction was later quashed by the Court of Appeal.

The footballer's retrial at Cardiff Crown Court is expected to last two weeks and is being presided over by Mrs Justice Nicola Davies.

The trial has been adjourned until 10.30am tomorrow.
