A teenage girl who allegedly had three sexual encounters with a married man told a Supreme Court jury yesterday how her father found out about the affair.

The defendant, a British national who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded not guilty in Supreme Court to having unlawful carnal knowledge with a girl aged 14 on July 24, July 29 and August 7 last year. He is represented by Elizabeth Christopher.

The girl, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, yesterday explained to the jury how the Police got involved in the matter.

Under questioning from Crown counsel Robert Welling, the girl said the last alleged sexual encounter happened three times with the both of them being in her home alone for three to four hours.

She said they met a few times after that through arranged text messages and phone calls but only talked and kissed.

The last time the pair arranged to meet was on August 11, the day her father figured out something was going on between them, the court heard.

The girl explained to the jury that she had taken a ride to Somerset on the back of a boat and contacted the defendant who said he had the rest of the afternoon off and they should meet.

She said she went home, got ready, then walked towards 9 Beaches to meet the defendant when her father called her on her cell phone.

She texted the defendant to tell him not to meet her but doesn't believe the message went through.

As she was on the corner by Somerset Primary, her father rode up next to her on a bike and took her cell phone. While they were talking, the accused rode past on his bike, the jury heard.

Her father took her home, disconnected all the phones and the Internet, left the house for ten to 15 minutes, then told her to wait upstairs.

The girl explained she was called downstairs to her father and stepmother who had figured out what was going on between her and the defendant. Her parents made her log into her hotmail account and read e-mails sent to and received from the defendant. After a few minutes, the defendant's wife came to the house.

Going over some of the e-mail messages in court yesterday, the alleged victim read one aloud where the defendant told her to save herself until she was 18 years old so he could divorce his wife and run away with her to an island in the Pacific Ocean. Other e-mails mentioned "dirty thoughts" they were having about each other.

During cross examination, Ms Christopher suggested anyone could have accessed the defendant's e-mail account from the computer where he sent the messages. The girl disagreed.

She also suggested the complainant was viewed as a "problem in the household" to which she agreed.

The case continues today before Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons.
