THE jury in the trial of a teenage boy who denies raping a schoolgirl was today expected to retire to consider its verdicts.

The 16-year-old was 15 at the time of the alleged attack. He is alleged to have pulled the girl, who was also 15, into bushes behind the Rainbow Centre in Keighley on November 15 last year. The jury at Bradford Crown Court heard that she was curled up and crying hysterically when police came to her home that night.

The boy said she became upset after they had consensual sex because she felt guilty about cheating on her boyfriend. The trial continues.
