One point, now I've got McDonald's name stuck in my head ;)

Under oath, Ched Evans stated that Clayton McDONALD asked the girl if he could join in. Evans stated he didn't speak to the woman ( "It wasn't the time for conversation" ).

Therefore, the ONLY way Evans would have had consent would have been if the woman agreed with McDONALD, giving consent to him for Evans to join in.

So why on earth did the defence NOT get McDONALD on the stand to confirm that? McDONALD confirms consent as given to him for Evans to join in, then the case is over.
