Daniel Green, 26, is currently in criminal court facing a charge of rape and has used the size of his penis as part of his defence. The incident, which he denies, is alleged to have happened under a desk after a party in a London office where people had been drinking champagne and doing coke. The alleged victim, who was also a City worker, had met up with Green, a stockbroker, during after works drinks and they went on to his offices at StratX.
According to The Mirror, Green told the court that: ‘The music was pretty good and I jumped on the desk and started dancing. Everyone was dancing. Very enjoyable. ‘Someone was sitting on the second row of desks racking up cocaine. There were seven or eight lines so he was sorting out a line for everyone at that time.’
Following an argument over the coke, the mood ‘soured’, though, and most of the revellers left, leaving the alleged victim, Green and two others in the office.
The alleged victim told jurors at the Old Bailey earlier this week that before the incident, at around 4am on May 16 2015, she had gone to sleep under a desk, as the last train had departed and she did not have enough money for a cab home. She awoke to Green pulling off her trousers and underwear and tried to crawl away, she claims. According to her testimony, reports The Telegraph, he then dragged her back under the desk and raped her despite her repeatedly telling him ‘no’.
Green denies this account, and told jurors at The Old Bailey that he went into a room where the alleged victim was and started having ‘a normal conversation you would have with anyone’. But then ‘When you are talking to someone you notice glances, you have got eye contact. You don’t say anything. You might smile. I leaned in for a kiss and we had a snog.’
He claims that while they were kissing, he stripped to just his socks while unclipping her bra, and assisted her in removing her leggings. He tried to have sex with her while ‘spooning’ but it was ‘awkward’ so they turned to face one another, he said. ‘I looked up and I see a tear on her face. So I sat back. I said “Fuck, you are crying”. She replied: “Can you leave please, just go”’
When asked why he thought she might be crying, he said: “Maybe my penis was hurting her. I always have difficult when it comes to having sex with girls. I find my penis is hard to penetrate females.’
He then demonstrated, with his hands, the length (10 inches, allegedly) and girth (four inches, allegedly) of his penis, according to The Telegraph.
After the alleged rape, the victim called her friend and Green, of Walthamstow, east London, was arrested. The trial continues.
