Guardian article here
The case was never prosecuted, apparently due to lack of evidence.
In terms of the evidence from the men concerned I think it's worth highlighting the judge's comments 'The judge said he did not find Goodwillie’s evidence to be persuasive and did not find Robertson credible or reliable' - in contrast with his view of the victim - “I find the evidence for the pursuer to be cogent, persuasive and compelling. In the result, therefore, I find that … both defenders took advantage of the pursuer when she was vulnerable'
Shocking that the victim had to resort to pursuing a civil case to see some form of justice (albeit neither man will serve time unless criminal charges now follow - not sure on the legal stance there) but thought it worth highlighting this.
