This was a time, Wolverhampton Crown Court has heard, when the girl&#8217;s parents had split up. Her father had asked his cousin, the boys&#8217; father, for child care for his daughter while he worked night shifts. That was how she came to be in the family&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n<p>The girl first made her allegations when her mother confronted her about an obscene video she had made of herself. One of the defendants had caused her to do it, she said. Judge John Wait listened as the mother said her daughter said she was raped by the defendant. In a subsequent police interview, she categorically denied anyone else had been involved. But in a further police interview, she identified his older brother and then two younger siblings as assailants as well. In their statements, all denied any involvement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MOTHER WOULD HEAR EVERY NOISE IN THE HOUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In court, under cross-examination, both young men continued to deny there had been any contact of a sexual nature between them and the girl, that she had ever watched anything on their mobile phones, that they had ever been alone with her let alone that she had been in their bedrooms with them, as she alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Their father in his evidence spoke of ground rules in the house which said the girl was never to go into boys&#8217; bedrooms in their home.<\/p>\n<p>Their mother said that although one of the boys might run a bath for the girl, she would always undress and take her bath alone. She said she would hear every noise in the house, and would be aware of movements such as people going to the toilet, even when asleep. The girl slept in their bedroom. When the family moved to a bigger house, she slept in a bedroom with their four-year-old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIRL HAD WATCHED PORNOGRAPHY WITH FRIEND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It emerged earlier that a somewhat older female friend, connected with the girl&#8217;s mother, had shown pornography to the girl. Astonishingly, this older girl was never interviewed by the police nor her vital evidence presented in court.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the day, one of the charges of sexual assault was dramatically dropped against the older defendant after the prosecution admitted the girl had made the allegation in one part of her evidence and then denied it in another.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the case, a doctor&#8217;s examination had found her hymen intact and no evidence of the systematic penetration she alleged had happened over the course of two years. This resulted in charges of rape and buggery being dropped on the opening day of the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Forensic evidence was inconclusive. Forensic Scientist Mary Carr told the court in a statement her \u2018scientific findings do not assist in to determining whether or not (one of the defendants) engaged in sexual activity with (the girl)&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The evidence of an expert child psychologist obtained by the defence was not admitted by Judge Wait as he said it would cloud the minds of the jury of five men and seven women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUSTICE ACCORDING TO LAWS OF GOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So the case will come down to her word against his &#8211; or theirs. That is not how justice is supposed to operate according to the laws of God:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether our lower standard of \u2018beyond reasonable doubt&#8217; is met will be decided by the jury. They will hear summing-up statements from prosecutor Paul Spratt and defence barristers Michael Edmonds and Victoria Meads on Monday morning before retiring to consider their verdict.<\/p>\n<p>We are not allowed to identify the girl accuser in this case. We have chosen not to identify the defendants for reasons of equity and fairness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Find out how to join Christian Voice and stand up for the King of kings (clicking on the link below does not commit you to join)<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P1OVTZ-gb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3940\" style=\"border: 0px;\" title=\"Join Today!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Join_donate_Logo2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Please note that persons wishing to comment on this story must enter a valid email address.
