Also, based on the chronology of who entered the room, it sounds like Gatling and Irvin were probably the men who held the victim down when Evans tried to rape her:
Physician Supports Story Of Gang Rape
March 23, 1991|By RONNIE CROCKER Staff Writer
http://articles.dailypress.com/1991...man-bowie-state-university-hampton-universityEvans said the woman ordered everybody out but the first two men, but that the others crowded around the door. Later, after the crowd left, Gatling and Lloyd E. Irvin Jr. went in. Evans said he followed them in, sat at the foot of the bed and listened as the two men had sex with her.
``I was curious,'' he explained in a tense exchange with Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Aundria D. Foster.
Evans said that after Gatling and Irvin left the room, he approached the woman from behind and began massaging her shoulders. But when he tried to get her to lean back for him, she pushed him away and he fell off the bed. He said he immediately left the room.
Evans told his lawyer that he wanted to have sex with the woman, but ``only with her consent.''
On Thursday, the woman presented a much different version of the incident, which lasted into the early morning of Oct. 8.
She testified that she had already been raped and sodomized, and that some of the men in the apartment were holding her down when Evans approached her and tried to have sex. She said she freed herself just long enough to push him away.
She said Evans punched her in the mouth, cursed her and stormed off.
Smith, the physician, testified that the woman had a bruised lower lip when she came to Riverside.
Boom, headshot. Evans, one of the rapists, confirms '89 Irvin and Gattling were having sex with the woman. '89 Irvin's claimed impotency should have been dismissed because of this.
And you're right, from the chronology of the other testimony, '89 Irvin and Gatling were likely the ones holding the victim down for Evans, ergo they knew it was a rape and not consensual.
