The prosecution at the Old Bailey alleges the players took mobile phone photographs showing lewd scenes, it further reported. Mark Cotter, defending Barker, suggested the woman was a prolific liar who had lied about photographs she had seen on a mobile phone.

Asked in the court if she had seriously exaggerated the contents of pictures, she replied that it was humiliating and the footballers should not have done it, adding they have to live with it.
