The jury in the case of a barber accused of forcing young girls into sex acts with his dog, has retired to consider its verdict.
Anthony Foster is accused of raping and assaulting three teenagers, two of whom he allegedly forced to have sex with his dog.
Mr Foster of St James' Park is said to have befriended the girls, two aged 16 and 18 before "manipulating them for his own sexual gratification."
The 35-year-old denies the claim and told Croydon Crown Court last week, the girls were colluding against him in the hope of pocketing compensation.
