A STRIPPER has been ordered to stand trial for the alleged rape of a best man at a bucks' party.
Linda Maree Naggs, 39, pleaded not guilty to penetrating the man with a sex toy at the party on the Mornington Peninsula in September last year.

The best man told police he felt violated, disgusted and less of a man after Naggs sexually penetrated him with a vibrator during a striptease performed in front of a cheering crowd of up to 30 men.

The man, who cannot be identified, told police he was participating in the act when he was shocked to feel a sharp pain. Melbourne Magistrates Court was told that guests at the party intervened when the pair then became involved in a heated argument.

Naggs told police that she had told the man that he had "pushed back on me".
"I said, 'I apologise if you're hurt but I didn't do it'."

Naggs said the best man punched her in the back of the head, causing her to bleed, and demanded his money back.

Naggs' minder, Cheryl Buckley, told the court that guests at the party had been "off their heads", loud and aggressive. She said a stripper who performed before Naggs at the party warned the women the men were "nasty arrogant pigs".

Magistrate Elizabeth Lambden said there had been inconsistencies in the accounts given by party guests, but there was enough evidence to support a conviction. Naggs was ordered to stand trial in the County Court in July.
