The complainant, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, said Skipp Anderson was anally penetrating him when he awoke in the upstairs bedroom of Anderson’s home around 3:30 a.m. on July 11, 2016.

Anderson, who owns Pink Nightclub, is charged with sexually assaulting his then 22-year-old friend. The 40-year-old’s jury trial began Monday in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench.

The complainant testified he briefly let the assault continue before telling Anderson to stop. He said Anderson replied, “It’s okay, because I already finished twice.”

The man said he went outside and “broke down” because he was “confused and embarrassed.” He said Anderson came outside to “console him,” and that he went back upstairs to sleep in Anderson’s bed because he couldn’t reach another friend and was still intoxicated.
