consensual

Hegseth claims the sexual encounter with the woman, who was staying in the hotel with her husband and two children, was consensual.

The star has vehemently denied all of the charges against him, and the claims in the civil suits, arguing that the sexual encounters at the heart of his criminal case were all consensual.

He claimed he had consensual sex with Ms Hand twice in the hotel room when Mr McGregor left the hotel.

The court heard that Morrow met all of the women on Tinder, and then chatted to them on Snapchat where intimate images were initially shared on a consensual basis.

The women, who cannot be identified, had two or more children non-consensually when they were teenagers, before going on to have more children consensually in later life.
