A Milford Haven man has gone on trial today accused of raping a female visitor to his home.

A jury at Swansea crown court heard that she complained that she woke twice to find Graham Alfred Davies, aged 55, sexually assaulting her.

Davies denies one charge of rape and one of sexual assault by penetration.

Ian Wright, prosecuting, said the woman had accepted an invitation to spend the weekend at Davies’ flat shortly after New Year, 2014.

“She made it perfectly clear that nothing of a sexual nature was going to happen. He replied that he did not expect anything of a sexual nature to take place,” said Mr Wright.

Davies allowed the woman to sleep in his bed while he slept on a settee.

Mr Wright said the woman went to bed fully clothed in jeans, a top, knickers and a bra.

But during the night she woke to find Davies had put his hand down her knickers.

He said Davies pulled his hand away when she woke.

The following night, it was alleged, she again went to bed fully clothed and woke in the middle of the night to find that Davies had pulled down her jeans and knickers and was having intercourse with her.

“He was raping her,” said Mr Wright.

“She told him to stop and he asked her if she wanted him to. She said ‘of course’ but he continued for a short while before stopping.”

“She felt disgusted. She had made it clear there would not be sex between them.”

Mr Wright said that on returning home she confided in a friend and a few days later contacted the police.

After his arrest Davies told police it had been understood at the start of the weekend that sex was not on the agenda.

He said that nothing had happened on the first night but the following night he felt cold on the settee and decided to sleep in his own bed.

There was some kissing and cuddling and then consensual sex, he said, but after a few minutes she said ‘no’ and he stopped.

Davies now works in England and gave his address as Sawyers Close, Windsor, near London.

The trial continues.
