BATAVIA - The trial of a woman charged with raping another woman who worked for her as an exotic dancer included testimony that dragged in the names of a professional wrestler now featured in Playgirl magazine and an NFL quarterback who was in Cincinnati last year to play the Bengals.

Judge Jerry McBride of Common Pleas Court listened to explicit testimony at the Clermont County Courthouse during the two-day trial this week. He said he will rule on the case Dec. 21.

Prosecutor Don White said that in his 19 years in office he couldn't recall any other Clermont County rape case involving two women.

Defendant Tracy N. Adkins, 28, of Clermont County, has pleaded not guilty. Adkins testified Tuesday she had consensual sex with a 20-year-old dancer from Warren County whose stage name was Summer. The Enquirer isn't publishing her real name because of the nature of the allegations.

The dancer claimed she was raped Dec. 7, 2006, in a home owned by professional wrestler Sean Casey, police said.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair's name was mentioned repeatedly during testimony, although he isn't alleged to have been involved in any crime.

Summer testified she flirted with McNair around the time of the alleged rape.

The defense tried to discredit Summer by calling a witness who testified that the dancer had actually had sex with McNair.

Casey and Adkins live together in the Willowville neighborhood of Union Township, police said. Adkins said Casey is her fiancé.

She is the general manager of Naughty Bodies, a Mount Carmel company that provides dancers for parties, Adkins testified. While pictures of her appear on the company Web site, she isn't a dancer.
