A 32-year-old bride-to-be has claimed she was sexually assaulted by a male stripper during her hen party in Crieff Hydro, Scotland. The performer, Stuart Kennedy, dressed as a firefighter, reportedly burst into the party unexpectedly, leaving her shocked and frozen.

The woman explained that the show had been secretly arranged by one of her sisters during a casual prosecco and pizza gathering, and she felt embarrassed and forced to take part. She said she repeatedly said “no thank you,” but the performer continued despite her discomfort.

She described how the door slammed open, and she realized a man had entered for entertainment. She began panicking and crying, eventually understanding the performance was meant for her.

Although she did not enjoy the activity, she felt she had to go along with it because leaving could have seemed like an overreaction. There were 15 guests staying in the lodge at the time.

The woman said Kennedy’s body was extremely close to hers, and she tried to resist his advances, which included forcing his hands between her legs.

She said he made her simulate oral sex, even though he still had trousers with a fake erection sewn in. At one point, he touched her shirt near her cleavage and continued to grind against her thigh, despite her attempts to resist.

She testified that he grabbed and jiggled her breasts, which shocked the other guests. She ran to the bathroom, where she vomited and cried uncontrollably.

Her younger sister later told police that the performer dry-humped her while she was seated, causing visible distress.

Kennedy denies all allegations of sexual assault, including touching her private parts and breasts, forcing her to simulate sexual activity, and restraining her.

Additional charges claim he made her drink from a penis-shaped straw, thrust his hips toward her, and forced her to handle a fake penis.

The trial is ongoing before Sheriff Paul Reid at Perth Sheriff Court.
