Yes but he could just be lying.
My mum told me a story once. She had been friends with a man and a woman in London.
The woman said that the man raped her on a night out.
She charged him and it went to court.
At the time the man was allowed to bring up his friends as defense witnesses.
His friends said in court that they had all had sex with this woman too. They said that she was wild and loved sex.
The man was found innocent.
My mum said that she talked to one of the man's friends afterwards, and he told my mum that he had lied in court, and pretended that he had sex with the woman.
My mum said "why would you do that to her?"
And the man said "I couldn't let my friend go to jail".
That's exactly why I think james Lawrence has said that he has sex with this woman. To make her look like she is up for sex with different people.
He could be lying altogether.
