Under intense cross-examination from Crown Attorney Jennifer Moser, the embattled former Mayor of Woodstock stuck to his story denying that he ever did anything inappropriate to his female accuser. A voice message was played in court featured Trevor Birtch, age 49, telling a now former friend that he tied up, beat and spat on a screaming woman that he had locked up in an attic. He is heard talking about a sadistic event saying, “It was awful, it was nasty, she got off on it.
” The Crown asked, "Mr. Birtch you were recounting a real event, correct?" Birtch responded, “No.” The Crown went on and asked, "It was crystal clear she was not consenting?” Birtch said, "No, it did not happen.
" He is heard saying that he took about 50 videos of the woman who was involved. Birtch told the court that he was telling a female friend because she was drafting a sexual story of a similar nature, and the Crown suggested, “Mr. Birtch you’re just making this up as we go sir?” Birtch responded, “No I am not.
” The former mayor has plead not guilty to three counts of sexual assault in connection with alleged incidents between 2017 and 2022 involving a woman who cannot be identified. This is the second such trial for Birtch in 2024 - earlier this year he was found guilty of sexual assault and assault involving another woman. In that case he is expected to be sentenced on November 18.
