An actor said he took action "as a warrior" to protect a woman allegedly raped by an Outlander cast member, a court heard.Glenn Gould, who played Chief Bird in the TV series, gave evidence on the fourth day of the trial of fellow Canadian actor Greggory Odjig.

As reported by the Mirror, Odjig - who played the role of Satehoronies in Outlander's fourth season - has been accused of raping a 34-year-old woman at the Premier Suites Plus serviced apartments in Glasgow's Bath Street in May 2021.Mr Gould told the court: "I'm a First Nations man from Canada and our job as men, as warriors, is to protect the women and children in our community." The woman had previously told the jury she had woken to find her leggings in a suitcase after "slipping into a state of unconsciousness" at a suite occupied by Odjig.The prosecution claims that the woman was intoxicated and asleep or unconscious and so incapable of giving or withholding consent.

Odjig has been accused of removing her lower clothing and carried out the act. The woman told the High Court in Stirling that she had gone to Odjig's suite after a day out in Edinburgh.

They had bumped into Mr Gould at a supermarket near the aparthotel and Odjig invited him to the two-bedroomed apartment to chat.
