Court papers state Patten, while the woman was under the influence of alcohol and incapable of giving of withholding consent, kissed her on the mouth.

Patten is said to have ripped and removed her clothing, carry her, bit her as well as pushed her on the body.

It is then stated that Patten raped her to her injury.

Patten was in Scotland as his naval vessel USS Colorado was berthed on a Clydeside base.

The woman had earlier told jurors that she met Patten on dating app Tinder and they went out for dinner and drinks.

She stated that Patten asked to walk her home at the end of the night as she lost her balance when leaving the bar.

A police statement given by the woman the day after the alleged incident was read out by prosecutor John Macpherson.

It said: "I just remember wanting to sleep, I felt my head was quite heavy.

"Some time after, I felt someone take my shoes off.

"I remember clothes ripping, I felt like my clothes were ripping or being pulled."

The woman recalled in the statement being sick in the toilet while she was naked with who she thought was Patten close by in a pair of jeans.

She then stated that Patten became naked at a further time she went to the toilet.

The woman added Patten carried her back to bed.

She said: "I remember being pushed from my back to lying on my front, after that I felt him having sex with me, he was on top of me...I can't remember where his hands were."

The woman told the officers that Patten told her to kiss him as they had sex and that he made a sexual remark about her body.

The woman earlier told the jury that she woke up in pain and noticed that she had a love bite on her neck.

Mr Macpherson asked: At that time, what did you think happened to you?"

The witness replied: "I thought maybe Christian had sex with me or something like that."

Mr Macpherson later asked: "Have you any recollection of Christian having sex with you?"

The woman, while crying, said: "I try to forget everything."

The trial continues before judge Lord Braid.
