MSPs call for explanation of Goodwillie rape case halt
David Goodwillie's accuser 'couldn't consent to anything'

Key witnesses said yesterday that footballer David Goodwillie's accuser "couldn't consent to anything" on the night they had sex as MSPs demanded to know why prosecutors dropped rape charges.

The star footballer faced new testimony from a Bathgate pub's stewards yesterday that Livingston woman Denise Clair appeared "hit by a sledgehammer" and barely capable of speech as a "stone-cold sober" Mr Goodwillie bundled her into a taxi on the night of January 1 2011.

Ms Clair, who has waived her right to anonymity, is suing the footballer for £500,000 in damages after Scottish crown prosecutors told her they did not wish to proceed against Mr Goodwillie.
