"Abuse victim was made pregnant twice", jury told

ONE alleged sex crime victim alleges that defendant Arshid Hussain climbed through her bedroom window to have sex with her.

Prosecutor Michelle Colborne said it happened in about 1999 when the girl was about 14.

“She believed she was in a relationship with the then 24-year-old Arshid who would  climb through her bedroom window and have sex with her,” she said.

Ms Colborne said the girl’s father challenged Arshid and had a fight with him. “The girl then went missing for weeks,” she said.

“She became pregnant by Arshid at 14 and records show she had a termination.”

The girl was placed in foster care but a year later was pregnant again and gave birth to Arshid’s child, the jury was told.

Hussain denies all 29 charges against him.
