A COLLEGE student accused of forcing a man to have sex with her told a court it did not happen - because she's too 'lazy' to be on top for 15 minutes.

Imogen Brooke also said she couldn't have given her alleged victim a love bite during the alleged assault as 'I can't multitask'.

And the 30-year-old claimed she wouldn't have been able to tug him over onto his back in bed as he has claimed, because 'I'm not Superwoman'.

Brooke denies causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent at her flat in Southampton.

The court has heard Brooke was feeling 'horny' when she wouldn't take no for an answer and got on top of her helpless victim.

The 'very drunk' woman allegedly started 'riding' the man whose protests were going 'in one ear and out the other'.

The court heard that at the time she weighed 24 stone and gave him the 'non consensual' love-bite having 'pinned' him down for sex before rolling off and going to sleep.

But Miss Brooke denied this, telling jurors she is conscious of her weight, meaning she wouldn't have engaged in that sexual position.

She said: "No, I'm not comfortable with my body, because I'm bigger than most people.

"I'm a big girl and I'm not confident of my weight, or any part of my body."

Southampton Crown Court heard that Brooke going on top during sex would be logistically challenging, as her size has an impact.

She continued: "I weigh 22st now but at the time I weighed 24st."

Brooke told the court that on the night in question, the two - who met online - had returned back to her flat.

She said: "I let Lexi my dog out, put some onion rings on and put the TV on because that's what I usually do - and because I like food, especially when I've drunk.

"We sat on the bed and we were kissing and that's when the love-bite happened."

Brooke said that after kissing she went to check on the food during which time her alleged victim fell asleep.

Brooke continued: "After kissing, I went and sorted the onion rings out - I would've checked if there were cooked or needed a bit longer and put mayonnaise on the plate."

"I ate them all to myself because he was asleep."

Brooke told the court that the next day she had messaged the man telling him he was 'soundo' - fast asleep - when she returned from the kitchen and had had to eat the onion rings alone.

When asked by her defence barrister, Audrey Archer, whether she forced the man to have sex with her and pulled down his boxer shorts, she said: "I didn't."

Ms Archer asked whether she had tugged at the man's arm to get him to lie on his back in the lead up to the alleged assault.

She replied: "No - I'm not Superwoman."

When asked if it was true she had been on top for the alleged period of 15 minutes, Brooke said: "No, I wouldn't.

"No, 15 minutes on top, I wouldn't - I'm very lazy. I had no sex on top for any duration."

Brooke, who is alleged to have given the man a love-bite during the sexual assault, told the court she couldn't have done that, 'because I can't multitask'.

The trial continues.
