A teenage girl begged to phone her mother as she was repeatedly raped by two soldiers in a park, a court heard.

The girl, who was 17 at the time of the alleged attack, said the two troopers ignored her when she asked for a cab fare home and jumped in a rickshaw leaving her shocked and stranded in the middle of the night.

Troopers Adam Bray, 21, from Brighton, and David Wright, 25, from Purley in Surrey, who are from the same regiment as Prince Harry, deny raping the teenager, claiming it was consensual after she met the soldiers on a Friday night out in London.

The girl told Southwark Crown Court that she and her sister met the two men after a night out drinking near Piccadilly Circus on September 29 last year.

The sisters were walking to Leicester Square to get a bus home when the two soldiers, from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, approached them and began chatting.

Almost immediately the two men told them they were soldiers and would soon be going to Iraq, she told the court.

She said: "Suspect one started to kiss me and grab the back of my hair as he was kissing me."

The four carried on walking, laughing and joking before the alleged victim's sister told her it was time for them to go home.

The sister left while the girl walked to Green Park, all of them laughing and chatting and with their arms interlocked.

But the alleged victim described how she became worried after they walked for five minutes into the park and sat on a bench, where one of the men started to kiss her.

"I was a bit worried because I was on my own. Then suspect two got up and came around behind me.

"When we started kissing I didn't know it was going to go any further," she told the court.

She said she told the two men that she wanted to phone her parents, but both defendants "totally ignored me".

She said one of the men held her arms above her head before both men forced her to perform a number of sexual acts.

Afterwards, she dressed herself and walked out of the park with the two defendants following her. As they arrived at the gate she asked them for money to get home, but both refused.

As she walked away from the park she stopped a man and asked him for a cigarette. "He asked me if I was OK and it all just spilled out. I told him 'I've just been attacked and raped in the park'."

Asked by prosecutor Martin Hicks if she had consented to any of the sexual acts, she replied she had not.

During later cross-examination the teenager admitted she did not put up a fight against her alleged attackers and did nothing to attract attention.

In reply to another question from defence counsel the 17-year-old accepted she had "acted in a way that was much more sexual" than she normally behaved.

The case continues.
