A schoolgirl tearfully recounted for a Supreme Court jury yesterday how she was allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted by a 29-year-old family member.

The defendant, a 29-year-old Pembroke man ? who cannot be named for legal reasons as doing so will reveal the identity of the alleged victim ? denies six counts of sexual assault against the teenage girl between 2000 and 2002.

Now aged 20, the woman was living with her grandmother at the same time as the man, who was newly married to her cousin. ?He came into the house and said good evening to my granny like he always did. Then he came into my room to see me,? the ten woman, two man jury heard. ?He sat next to me and started to rub and caress my breast. I was telling him to stop and stuff. He was feeling up my leg.?

Choking back tears she said the man put his hands in her underwear and touched her breast again.

?I said stop it but he would not let go of my wrists,? she said. ?He held my wrists together. My wrists were small at the time and his hands were big.?

She also said the man inserted two fingers into her vagina.

During his opening statement, Crown counsel Graveney Bannister said the young lady was scared to report the matter to her family.

She was still a student at the time of the alleged sexual assaults, he said, and her school uniforms could easily be seen hanging in her bedroom closet as the closet had no doors.

?You are married now, why not kiss your wife,? she told him.

The victim said the defendant was trying to control her and told her to leave her bedroom window unlocked at night.

She eventually confided in her English teacher who informed the Police. It also emerged yesterday that she has not graduated from high school. On April 25, 2002, when the victim?s 81-year-old grandmother said left her home to attend the funeral of a friend, the man allegedly approached the girl again to have sex.

?Let?s do it now! I?ve waited long enough,? she said he told her. In their encounters, ?he would say, you are pretty, you are hot,? she said. ?...That I was looking finer every day.?

But defence lawyer Peter Farge alleged that the incidents never occurred. The victim disagreed.

When Mr. Farge?s cellular phone rang during his cross-examination he was chastised by Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons.

?You know what my rule is Mr. Farge,? Mrs. Justice Simmons told him. ?If it happens again, it?s straight to Hamilton Police Station to cool off for a while.?
