A new student at the UK's oldest catholic university sexually assaulted two young women minutes apart during drunken freshers week introductions, a court heard yesterday.
William Kelsey Harrison, 21, had only been at St. Mary's University, Twickenham a week when he followed a 19 year-old into her room and forced himself on her, the jury heard.
"He said: 'Don't be boring' and kept saying: 'You love it,' again and again," she told the Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court jury.
She said she did not want to go any further than kissing Harrison. "He was alright, a decent-looking lad, but he was forcing his tongue into my mouth and I closed my eyes and was shaking my head.
"He got on top of me and that's when I started to worry. He was kissing me down my neck and it was becoming forceful and he bit me and I flinched.
"He put two fingers into me and he is a lot stronger than me. He continued to the point I was flinching in pain.
"He started undoing his trousers and I unlocked the door and went out."
She admitted drinking five vodkas, five Jagerbomb shots and two alcopops that evening before ending up at the halls of residence in Waldegrave Road at 2.30am.
She was also new to St, Mary's and had spent her first week getting to know her fellow-students and was part of group that had invited Harrison to join them.
Prosecutor Mr. James Dawson told the court: "All the parties in this case had been drinking quite heavily and the first complainant had pre-drinks before going to the Student Union."
When she fled her room she told other students on the landing: "You've got to get rid of him," added the prosecutor. "It was plain she was very upset and very tearful."
Harrison returned to collect his coat and another female student, 20, went into the room to get it.
"He followed her in and put his hand over her mouth and started trying to kiss her and she resisted and said: 'What are you doing?'
"She pushed her way out of the room and now there were two very upset girls."
The police were called and officers arrested Harrison in his room.
When questioned he did not deny there was physical contact, insisting both young women were consensual.
Harrison, of Victoria Street, Littleport, Ely, Cambridgeshire has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault on September 27, 2014.
Trial continues……………
