17 YEAR OLD GIRL RAPED TWICE WHEN SHE WENT TO A NIGHT CLUB(PICS)
Arshad Arif, 28, of Slough, Berkshire, allegedly approached the 17-year-old when she was standing cold and wet outside a nightclub in Watford, Hertfordshire, with no money, mobile phone or coat.Two hours later she banged on a couple's door in Slough, with her tights hanging off and underwear missing - after being attacked twice by Arif, who had forced her to perform acts, the court was told.Abigail Husbands, prosecuting, toldReading Crown Court in Berkshire: 'Her father received a terrible phone call from his daughter - the sort every parent dreads. She had been attacked.'After meeting friends at one of their parents' houses, the group had gone a bar in Watford, before ending up at the nightclub Oceana where they drank more wine and shots of spirits.But she became separated from her friends, who last saw the girl at 1.50am and could not find her.'She had no coat, no bag, no money and no phone,' Ms Husbands added. 'It was raining. Itwas late November. She must have been feeling pretty desperate.'After being outside on her own forabout an hour, during which she tried in vain to contact people by borrowing other people's phones, the girl - who was then 17 - was allegedly approached by Arif.The jury watched footage showingthem speaking briefly before he led her away. They walked away from a taxi rank outside the club and she then used Arif's phone to make a call, the court was told.The prosecutor said: 'Her parents were woken up by a call to their landline. She said: "Mum, it's me. I don't feel very well. I can't find the others. I want to come home. Can you come and get me?"Her mother got out of bed and set off to collect her last November from Watford, but arrived too late.As the mother set off, her daughterwas getting into the taxi with the man she had only just met. He spoke to the driver in a language she did not understand, the court was told.'When they got to a drop-off point that was in Slough - where the man wanted to go - the female said she didn't want to get out butthe male took her with him,' Ms Husbands said.The girl told police that once out ofthe taxi the man took her into a park and after walking for several minutes they stopped at a muddy area, before he exposed himself and raped her.The victim said that during the alleged attack she feared she was going to die. In a police interview played to jurors she said how Arif threatened her and forced her to perform acts.Following the attack, she managed to reach a house, where she roused the elderly couple who lived there, the court heard. They comforted her and let her use theirphone to call her father.Arif was allegedly identified after it emerged he had earlier allowed the schoolgirl to use his phone - with her father noting down the number - and a swab taken from the girl allegedly had his semen.The girl's memory failed her from between 12.30am and 3am - from shortly after drinks were bought for the friends by an Asian man in Oceana and around the time she got the taxi, the court heard.Arif denies two counts of rape. Thetrial, before Judge Zoe Smith, continues.
