It was all fun and games until someone got hurt.
A Royal Navy sailor has been accused of assaulting another sailor by shoving a Heineken bottle up his butt after he passed out drunk. Another sailor has been accused of slapping the victim across the face with his penis. Both men appeared before a Portsmouth Naval Base court this week.
The attack happened in August 2013 aboard the HMS Northumberland warship after it docked in Bournemouth, Dorset, for an air show. After a hard night of drinking, the victim, whose name has not been released, passed out in the ship’s common area. At some point, a group of sailors snuck over and pulled down his pants then posed for pictures next to his bare butt, sticking out their tongues and giving the thumbs up.
“Matters were to escalate rapidly,” Nadim Bashir, prosecuting attorney, told the court.
How about we take this to the next level?

According to Bashim, 31-year-old Christopher Cook unzipped his pants, pulled out his penis, and proceeded to whip the victim in the face with it. Meanwhile, 34-year-old Andrew Donaldson “took hold of a beer bottle and made a statement for those viewing the video of his intentions.”
Donaldson then used the bottle to sodomize the victim.
“When the neck of the bottle didn’t go in far enough,” Bashim continued, “with both hands he pushed to the base of the bottle to insert the whole neck of the bottle resulting in the complainant recoiling and waking up.”
“I remember being woken by a feeling of intense pressure in my anus,” the victim said in a statement that was read to the court. “This confused me as I didn’t know what was going on.”
The entire incident was videotaped on Donaldson’s cellphone by a man named Roger Spratt. Photographs were also taken “for the amusement of others.”

“To add to the humiliation,” Bashim continued, “the footage was emailed by Logistician Donaldson to himself to ensure a copy was kept on his computer for future use.”
Afterwards, the footage was allegedly passed around to several other crew members.
“I was very drunk, for this to wake me up demonstrates the force used,” the victim said. “At no time have I given anyone permission to touch me or carry out such an act.”
Both Donaldson and Cook have been charged with one count each of disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind. Donaldson is also charged with an alternative count of assault by penetration.
The trail continues.

I guess we now know the answer to the old children’s song of what do you do with a drunken sailor…. I’m so wrong for this, I know.

Sticking a beer bottle up a man’s ass is assault. Not horseplay and not funny.

North Carolina readers are all too familiar with this sort of thing. It’s known as the annual High Point Market.

I didn’t know how to react so I never said anything.

No penis slapping, but I was sodomized by a beer bottle in the Navy.

At least today people are prosecuting more and more thanks to the example of the catholic priesthood being exposed as a ped ophile ring getting their pan ts sued off them right and left, and women being plain fed up. I guess those no good criminal priests are good for something. Next is going to be inc est by mothers to their sons; a high incident rate coupled with high memories loss with the sons. People are waking up and the nightmares ain’t pretty.

@Jason smeds – this is not horse playing, they shoved a beer up a guys ass when passed out. That’s sexual assault, saying anything else is wrong and trying to make light of the situation

@bnard620: I totally agree this is sexual assault. I also hate it when people try to slut shame the victim. They call it horseplay or say she was asking for it by dressing provocatively. Sexual assault is all about power and how the perp gets off on it.

Some of the comments on here are disgusting. A man was raped with a beer bottle and humiliated.
Catch a grip and grow up!

When did RAPE become a joke? If they did this to a woman they’d be looking at 30 years.

You know the world has gone absolutely nuts when people find gang rape funny.

Military people are always a bit dehumanized. It is part of their training to become killers.

@Kieran: I can’t for the life of me understand how people can make jokes. In the abstract i think a rape joke can be funny, because you’re typically laughing at the shock of it. (Sarah Silverman comes to mind). But when you’re laughing at a situation that actually happened with a real victim, it seems wrong.

Well of course it’s assault. I didn’t say otherwise. The take-home message is to avoid getting drunk for it puts you in a vulnerable situation.

@jason smeds:
Hmm.
You said: “This just seems like horseplay that got out of hand.”
Later: “Well of course it’s assault. I didn’t say otherwise.”
Sadistic, full of shite troll.
