MIGRANT STAYING IN ASYLUM HOTEL 'RAPED AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED CRYING WOMAN WHO SECRETLY RECORDED ATTACK ON HER PHONE TO SNARE HIM'
A migrant staying in an asylum seeker hotel raped and sexually assaulted a crying woman who secretly recorded the attack on her phone, a court has heard.Chret Callender, who was staying at the Britannia Hotel in Bournemouth, drunkenly forced himself onto the young woman after turning up at her home following a night out, a jury was told at Bournemouth Crown Court.
The victim, who had offered him a lift home, recorded the incident on her phone to snare him and could be heard crying and becoming increasingly upset in audio clips, prosecutor Russel Pyne said.
Callender's address was given as the Britannia Hotel, one of three hotels in the seaside town being used by the Home Office to house asylum seekers.
The incident is alleged to have happened in the early hours of June 14 this year with the young woman, who cannot be identified, reporting it to police later the same day.
The woman had met up with friends in Bournemouth Pleasure Gardens on the night of June 13 and Callender was there.
He asked the woman for some 'loving', which she rejected, before he allegedly overpowered her and 'carried on regardless'.
She pushed his hands away but he persisted against her wishes.
She describes the measures she took to try to stop him - most obviously, the word no said repeatedly, "I don't want to", "don't touch me", she says she attempted to push him off.
She became audibly upset and had cried, none of this put him off.
He carried on regardless.
The prosecutor said the woman had the presence of mind to record what was going on in the bedroom.
The recordings, which she started after he sexually assaulted her, reveal the build-up to the rape, the assault itself, and the aftermath, with the woman increasingly upset and crying in the recordings.
Callender, 28, was staying at the Britannia Hotel in Bournemouth, one of three asylum hotels in the town.
He told police he had gone to the woman's house and asked for "some loving" but claims he accepted her refusal, asserting there was no sexual contact between them.
He denies rape and sexual assault.
The trial continues.
