Then, she said, ‘He just jumped on me. He put his hands up my clothes and tried to take my tights off. I started to fight him off, but the door of the car was locked and I could not find the catch. Suddenly he grabbed me and then he drove off and I started to cry and asked him to take me home. He told me to take my clothes off and, if I did not take my clothes off, he would let me walk home, so I asked him to let me do that. He said, that if he did, he would beat me up before he let me go. He said that he had done this before and had got away with it and he started to pull my coat off. He was using foul language’. And then she said that she told him, ‘I am not like that’, and he said something like, ‘You are all like that’. Then he drove on. ‘Again’, said the girl, ‘he tried to get my coat off, so I got hold of my handbag and I jumped out of the car. When I opened the door, he said something and revved the car up and I jumped out. The next thing I remember he was backing towards me and so I ran to the nearest house. He backed and shouted and then he drove off’, and then she remembered being in the lady’s house. She said she was taken to hospital, where she was treated for some concussion and for some grazing, and was detained in hospital for three days. The defendant was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
