HALIFAX — A defence lawyer questioned a young Halifax woman Tuesday about her decision to sleep in a room with four British sailors in the barracks of a military base, and a kiss she gave one of the men. Hutchison appeared to suggest Tuesday that she could have slept in the hallway of the barracks, the lobby, or on the floor of barracks room rather than in the bed. The complainant was at the barracks on the night in question because her friend had invited her on a double date after meeting a British sailor on Tinder. Hutchison asked about her testimony that she had lost consciousness during the alleged sexual assault. The complainant was also asked bluntly if the sex acts she has testified about were taking place consensually.
