Goody widower denies terror rape

The shy young woman says she was attacked by Jack Tweed and his friend Anthony Davis, who had been pestering her for a threesome, Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London heard.

Tweed, a 22-year-old club promoter, and Davis, 26, an estate agent, of Chigwell, Essex, both deny raping the victim at Tweed's east London home in the early hours of September 4 last year.

The victim, who was just 19 at the time, said she was "horrified" when Davis joined Tweed on the bed and they both raped her together. She said she had never been so scared in her life and was in "complete lockdown".

Asked by prosecutor Linda Strudwick to describe what she meant, the victim said: "You just leave your body. You can't feel nothing. You

just close your eyes and you're not there."

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she initially tried to nervously "laugh off" Tweed's advances as he kissed her neck and pushed her towards the window sill.

She also admitted kissing Tweed back at first, telling the jury of six men and six women she felt she had no choice.

But she said Tweed became "more heavy-handed" and the situation changed when Davis stood inside the bedroom and told Tweed: "Don't worry Jack, I've got the door, do what you've got to do."

The young woman did not push Tweed off or tell him to stop because she was "frozen with fear", the court heard.

Asked how she felt, she added: "I couldn't feel anything."

Tweed was interrupted as the victim's friends tried to get into the room, but Davis was holding the door, the court heard.

Asked why she told her friends, who were shouting through the door, that she was OK, she said: "Jack said to say, 'Yes'. I didn't know what would have happened if I didn't. It might have got violent."

She was then raped by both Tweed and Davis at the same time, the court heard.

She said she did not want to do it, did not do anything to suggest she wanted to do it and did not consent.

Earlier, the court was told the victim and her friends went to Tweed's house in Brandesbury Square, Repton Park, Woodford Green, east London, after a night out at a club in Mayfair .

The alleged victim was shy and "made it plain to both defendants that she was not interested in them sexually", Ms Strudwick said. But Davis pushed her into a bedroom and called for Tweed to join him.

The court heard at first the young woman thought they were just "lads being lads".

Ms Strudwick said Tweed and Davis "were predatory and, whether they agreed this or not, they seemed to work together".

The prosecutor told the court the young woman had "drunk comparatively little" but took a small amount of cocaine. She fled when a friend of Tweed's opened the door.

Davis made repeated attempts to talk to her as she waited to leave with her friends and threatened to stab her in the face.

Tweed married Big Brother star Goody, 27, shortly before she lost her battle against cervical cancer in March 2009. Tweed denies two counts of rape while Davis denies one count.

The trial continues.
