The Conservative MP was wearing a “black leather mini skirt” and “high heels” when he was involved in a late-night car crash, a court heard.
Jamie Wallis, who has represented Bridgend since 2019, is on trial charged with failing to stop, failing to notify of a road collision, driving without due care and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position.
Wallis denies the allegations.
The charges relate to a collision on November 28 last year in which the Mercedes he was driving hit a lamp post and a telegraph pole on Church Road in Llanblethian, South Wales.
Karina Hughes, prosecuting, said residents Adrian Watson and Natalie Webb were having a gathering when shortly after 1am they heard “a very loud blast, significantly louder than a homemade firework”.
Mr Webb said he went outside and saw amber flashing lights and that a Mercedes E-Class sedan had crashed into a lamp post.
Mr Watson said he looked inside the car and saw “a white male wearing a white long sleeved top which was close to the body, a black leather PVC mini skirt, tights, dark high heeled shoes and pearl necklace’.
In her statement, Ms Webb described the man as wearing “black court shoes”.
When he asked Wallis if he was OK, Mr Watson said the male said: “I’m sorting it out. I’m sorting it out.
Mr Watson said he was going to call the police and that Wallis started walking away from the scene.
He tracked him down and witnessed two phone calls, during one of which he claimed he had been “tricked”.
He was then picked up by a Land Rover Discovery.
Police Sergeant Gareth Handy said that when he visited the home address of the Wallis family, which he described as a “mansion” and “absolutely colossal”, he forced his way into the property out of concern for the MP.
Mr Handy said Wallis was eventually found in one of the rooms of the house and when he got to the room he said: “I saw that Jamie’s face was in make-up.”
When police searched his flat at the property, they found a “blonde wig” on a table, the court was told.
Lewis Hall found Wallis in a bedroom in the house sleeping and said: “She looked like she was wearing make-up. His eyelids were dark, his lips were red and his cheeks were bronze, and his toes were varnished red.
Wallis was discovered naked in bed and was given a modest blanket until clothing could be found.
The black leather skirt and pearl necklace were found next to the bed and were seized by the police. He was detained at 7.21 am.
In March, Wallis became the first UK MP to come out as transgender. The process is expected to last up to two days.
