However, Eubank is then alleged to have dragged her down the beach, telling her they were "going to look at the moon." The girl reported to police that she was "aggressively grabbed" by the wrist and led across the beach, where she was then forced to have sex.
Eubank has admitted engaging in sexual activity with the girl but maintains that it was consensual. He faces two counts of rape, both of which he denies. The trial remains ongoing.
