A woman soldier told a female colleague she would 'make her gay', before assaulting the woman as she slept after a night out, a court martial has heard.
Lance Corporal Hannah Heslop, 25, had 'sexually targeted' the heterosexual woman before taking her back to a room at Normandy Barracks in Leconfield, Yorkshire, it was alleged.
Bulford Military Court in Wiltshire was told that as the other soldier slept, Heslop removed the victim's knickers and 'used this opportunity to fulfil her objective of scoring'.
The woman, told the hearing she woke up in pain to 'find the accused between her legs', and that she was left feeling 'shocked and confused' after the alleged incident.
However, Heslop, who serves with 22 Field Hospital, later boasted about the incident, claiming the sex was consensual and went on for an hour, the hearing was told.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court martial that she was drunk after a night out with a group of soldiers, including Heslop, on March 6, last year.
'I went out with them just to make new friends,' she said. 'It was just to go and socialise.
'She [Heslop] was asking about when I go out and get drunk and whether I get very drunk that I cannot remember what I am doing.
'She said "a girl's G spot is next to her cervix and I know how to make a girl squirt". I just felt like "what are you telling me? I do not need to know that".
'I knew she was interested in women. I just shrugged the comments off.'
The victim said she could not remember going back to camp or to her room.
'I remember waking up to a pain,' she added. 'I was asleep, passed out asleep. I was in a deep sleep.
'It was a pain that I woke up to. It was inside my vagina, up and in.
'[The pain] was enough to wake me up from a deep sleep. I noticed blonde hair down there. Yes, a head between my legs.
'I had my vest and jacket still on. I did not have the bottom half of my clothes on.
'It took a second to figure out what was going on. I do not know if I shouted or kicked but it made Heslop jump back.
'I lay in shock. I did not know what was happening, I didn't know what was going on.
'Heslop was on the end of the bed. I think she said 'I have got to go' and then left. I didn't say anything back to her.'
Lieutenant Colonel David Phillips, prosecuting, said that during the afternoon and evening before the alleged incident took place, Heslop 'sexually targetted' the victim.
'The victim was a hetrosexual female soldier, we assert the accused is attracted to female soldiers,' he said.
'During the afternoon and evening the accused began to sexually target the victim.
'She began saying she would make her gay - her response was to laugh off her comments.'
Lt Col Phillips said that the evening had involved drinking games, with the soldiers drinking shots of alcohol.

'We assert by the end of the evening, the victim was drunk and needed to be taken back to barracks and that is what the accused did,' he said.
'After taking her back to barracks, the accused took her to her room. The victim is drunk, falls asleep in a room with the accused.
'There the accused used this opportunity to fulfil her objective of "scoring".
'She removed the victim's lower garments, including her knickers. She did not remove any of her own.'
He said that Heslop had then assaulted the woman, resulting in her feeling pain, and bleeding.
'The victim woke up to find pain and the accused between her legs and she [the victim] was naked from the legs down and they were on the bed,' he said.
'She was shocked and confused. She flinched and sat up, the accused stopped and left the room.'
He added that Heslop had later boasted of the encounter.
The court heard how when interviewed by police, Heslop, who was at Leconfield on a course, denied the allegations and said that sexual activity between the pair was consensual.
Lt Col Phillips added: 'Heslop says she took the victim up to her room, as she was drunk and it was a duty of care. She wanted to ensure the victim got home safely and did not intend any sexual activity.
'She says it was the victim's idea that the accused should get into the bed.
'After getting into bed with her, the victim then grabbed her hand and placed it on her vagina - it was not her idea, they then had sexual activity for one hour only coming to a halt when she found she was bleeding.'
Heslop denies assault by penetration.
The trial continues.
