A schoolgirl denied being happy to spend time at the house of a man accused of molesting her.
The girl told the jury at Oxford Crown Court today her friends pressured her into staying at Carl Forrester’s house.
Forrester, 55, denies two charges of sexual activity with a child, four of taking indecent images of children and two of making indecent images of children.
The girl, who cannot be named but was aged 12 at the time of the alleged attack, said Forrester attacked her at his home in Canning Crescent, South Oxford, after picking up her and friends who were truanting from school.
She denied defence claims that Forrester had given her and the other girls a cuddle and a peck on the cheek, and that there had been nothing sexual or perverted about his behaviour.
The case continues.
