A third university student has told a jury how an alleged serial sex attacker encouraged her to down alcohol before assaulting her.
The young woman claims 21-year-old Charles Goodwin told her to keep drinking after a night out before repeatedly touching her.
Goodwin is on trial at Liverpool Crown Court facing 12 offences involving four students, three of whom were based in Liverpool and one in Manchester.

Goodwin, of Hilbre Street in Liverpool city centre, but formerly of Salford, denies all the offences, which include six rapes, sexual assaults, assault by penetration and attempting choking, between January 2020 and May last year.
The jury has heard the defendant, who was on double bail at the time of the final alleged attack, admits having sexual activity with the four young women but claims it was consensual.
Matthew Curtis, prosecuting, has claimed, “The defendant did not care whether the complainants consented or not. In short, he got what he wanted with no care for them or the immediate consequences of his actions.”
The first two alleged victims have already given evidence, the second one claiming she was raped after he had picked her out to down shots during a “ring of fire” drinking game.
The third student, who also cannot be identified for legal reasons, told how she met Goodwin, known as Charlie, during Freshers week, and she described him as “loud, very outgoing and a bit intense.”
On a night out, the woman claims he gave her his coat outside an accommodation building because she was shivering.
She told the court he had brought a bag of spirits with him and gave her a Kahlua to drink before giving her glasses of peach pink gin with lemonade.
She said: “He just kept giving me drinks and coercing me to down them, which I did.”
After entering the flat, the woman said Goodwin poured her another drink and she began to “feel really ill.”
A short time later the woman and Goodwin went outside where they sat chatting.
She told the court it was then he put his hand down the back of her trousers and touched her inappropriately.
When they re-entered the flat, she told how he looked after her and got her a bowl and held her hair so she was not sick on it.
After her friends left to get pizza, Goodwin and the girl kissed before moving towards the kitchen.
It was in the kitchen the girl alleges he sexually assaulted her.
She claims she told him twice to stop, which he did and then apologised - but moments later he pulled down his trousers and underwear before putting her hand on his penis.
The victim added she reacted after a second and pulled her hand away and walked back over to the sofa.
She said: “He then pulled down my trousers and hit me on my buttocks twice pretty hard.”
The next day she was badly hungover, was shaking, feeling dizzy and sick.
Later in the day she started thinking about what had happened and had a panic attack.
She told friend she was not comfortable with what had happened and was advised to report it.
Goodwin denies two offences of sexual assault involving her.
The case continues.
