An accused rapist told Police that when his alleged victim told him to stop his sexual advance, she didn't really mean it.

"To me it didn't really mean to stop when she said stop,'' he said during his statement to Police.

This was revealed yesterday during the second day of the Supreme Court trial of a 33-year-old Hamilton Parish man accused of seriously sexually assaulting his 27-year-old ex-girlfriend on March 16.

The man -- who cannot be identified for legal reasons -- is also charged with the deprivation of the woman's liberty, invading her privacy in a manner which alarmed her and the alternative charges of sexual assault and assault occasioning bodily harm.

On Monday, the tearful woman testified her ex-boyfriend raped her twice and told her he wanted her to have his baby.

The eight-woman, four-man jury heard that she arrived home in a taxi at about 2 a.m. on March 16 and waited with the driver for her cousin to return her car.

But her ex-boyfriend arrived first and shortly thereafter raped her twice, she testified.

Yesterday the Court heard that the woman suffered bruises to her wrists, elbow, breasts and calf. She also had bite marks on her left leg.

According to a Police statement, an emergency doctor gave her a tetanus shot and antibiotics.

The woman reported the incident two days later after initially reporting it as a domestic incident. She explained that she did not want the people she worked with to know.

Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Myron Simmons, she maintained that she did not give into the man's advances.

"He had sex with me,'' she sobbed. "I didn't have sex with him.'' And she denied saying the man "has too many girlfriends. Someone has to do something about it''.

Det. Con. Calvin Smith told the court the man admitted to Police his ex-girlfriend said no, "but not like she meant it''.

The man claimed that he did not remember everything that happened that night since "it happened fast,'' Det. Con. Smith said.

And during their second argument about a telephone bill, the man said he remembered holding the woman in a head lock -- in a bid to calm her down -- but did not remember threatening to break her neck.

However, under cross-examination Det. Con. Smith admitted that it was not unusual for someone to forget events that took place some 12 days earlier.

Det. Con. Smith also told the court the man claimed he later tried to call the woman to apologise and see if they could work things out.

The trial continues today before Chief Justice Austin Ward with Charlene Scott representing the Crown.
