POLICE were alerted to the rape claims of a woman by her sister, a jury was told yesterday.
Satellite TV repairman Waad Namek denies two counts of rape at Oxford Crown Court.
Giving evidence on day two of the hearing, the complainant’s sister said she spoke to her sibling on the phone the morning after she had stayed at Namek’s flat in Owens Way, Cowley, in October 2010. She said: “She started weeping when she was on the phone.
“She said that something happened at about 9pm the previous evening and he had sex with her, that he had abused her.”
The woman, speaking through a Romanian interpreter, said she called police and went round to 36-year-old Namek’s flat and shouted at him.
She said: “He said, ‘no sex, no sex’.
“He said he hadn’t done anything to her and he was a good man.”
Under cross-examination from defence barrister Mary Prior, the witness later admitted Namek had said: “No sex, no sex. It was different sex.”
The trial, which is expected to conclude this week, continues.
