Honeycutt insists that she never touched either boy sexually, despite showering naked with each. Her lawyer called no defense witnesses.
The prosecution rested yesterday after an emotional day of testimony. Both alleged victims took the witness stand, as did the mother of the boy who hosted the party in their Lower Makefield home.
A tape of a wiretapped phone call between Honeycutt and the mother of the boy she is accused of raping also was played in court.
"I never touched him. I kissed him," Honeycutt told the mother in the April 15 call. "That's the extent of it."
The mother responded, "You stood in a shower with him and you didn't have sex?"
"No, I didn't touch him at all," Honeycutt said.
The incident began as a party for about 20 freshman boys and girls at the home of Lynne Long-Higham, 46. She testified that she had asked Honeycutt, a close friend and neighbor, to help her supervise them.
After all but six boys left, Honeycutt danced "kind of a striptease" for several boys in her son's bedroom, Long-Higham said, then asked "if anyone wanted to touch her," Long-Higham said. "One of the kids said 'I do,' and she took him into the bathroom."
After about a minute, Honeycutt returned and gave a "passionate" kiss to another boy, Long-Higham said. She said she and Honeycutt consumed a large bottle of red wine, and were intoxicated.
Sometime after midnight, she said, she discovered Honeycutt in the shower with a 15-year-old boy.
That boy testified yesterday that Honeycutt had stripped to her waist and asked if anyone wanted to shower with her. "I said, 'I will,' " he said.
