THE jury was today expected to retire to consider its verdicts in the trial of a man accused of raping a girl aged 14.

Judge Peter Benson was set to finish summing up the case of Mohammad Ahmed, 22, accus-ed of raping the girl in her room.

Ahmed denies rape on August 30, 2013 and two earlier charg-es of sexual activity with a child.

The girl alleges Ahmed, 20 at the time, chased her upstairs, pushed her to the floor, kicked and hit her before raping her.

Ahmed, of Denby Street, White Abbey, Bradford, told the court he “never laid a finger” on her. The trial continues.
