Court hears how girl was made to simulate images from porn mags

A WOMAN told police how she had to recreate scenes from pornographic magazines with a man she alleges indecently assaulted and raped her as a child, a court heard.

She tearfully recounted episodes of the alleged abuse to police when she reported allegations against Andrew Crane.

He went on trial on Monday at Nottingham Crown Court, accused of charges of a sexual nature involving her and another girl.

The first alleged victim's account to police of Crane's conduct was recorded and played to the jury at Crane's trial.

In the footage she described the various allegations, including how she had to simulate images from porn magazines when she was a child.

Asked by a policewoman how often this would happen, she said: "I remember doing it a lot."

Crane, 49, of Coronation Walk, Gedling, is alleged to have abused her hundreds of times.

He is accused of six charges of indecently assaulting her, one charge of gross indecency toward her and four of rape.

Ian Way, defending Crane, told her yesterday the allegations were not true.

She tearfully replied: "Yes, they are."

Crane is charged with three more allegations of indecent assault in relation to the second girl and one of raping her.

Andrew Vout, prosecuting, told the jury on Monday this was a troubling and disturbing case.

"What it boils down to is that you have two women who say they were abused by him sexually. He says they are telling a pack of lies," he said.

The first child was five when, Mr Vout said, Crane began subjecting her to a "quite appalling campaign of sexual abuse", which gradually worsened. She called what happened to her "her little chest of horrors", the court heard.

Crane is also alleged to have touched her, then given her chocolate, and performed sexual acts in a toilet. There was a sexual incident involving a toy elephant as well as episodes where he raped her, the court heard. She went to police in 2011.

The second victim was frightened and crying when he first indecently assaulted her in a toilet, the court heard.

On another occasion, he performed a sexual act in front of her and another time he raped her, it was alleged.

As in the first girl's case, the alleged abuse of the second girl got worse. Years later she too spoke out.

Crane was interviewed about the allegations in June 2012. He denies all 15 offences. The case continues.
