A WITHAM man is on trial accused of the racially aggravated harassment and intimidation of a girl who accused his friend of rape.
Perry Miles-Anderson, 25, of Orchid Avenue, pleaded not guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday (October 28) to one charge of racially aggravated harassment on July 2, 2013, and one of intimidating a woman who had made a rape accusation against a friend, who was later acquitted.
The court heard the victim's police statement via video.
She said: "I was walking across the park when a man called Perry was standing on the basketball court, he shouted 'Oi', but I ignored him, then he shouted it again, 'oi, you're a whore, you've ruined my boy's life'. I said 'how do you think your boy has made me feel?' and Perry said, 'nah it's all ******** and even if he did do that to you, you shouldn't go shouting your mouth because it's dirty and it's wrong, I'll kick your head in, I'll rape you myself. And tell your older brother and dad I'm going to smash them up'."
The witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, then said the defendant made racial insults outside her house.
The trial continues.
