POLICEMAN’S ‘TWO SEX ATTACKS ON GIRL, 16, DURING HELL DATE’ He raped her against tree – court

-

ACCUSED: PC Provan denies rape A POLICE officer twice raped a girl aged 16 after lying about his age to take her on a ‘hellish’ date, a court heard.

Adam Provan, 38, allegedly groomed the dance student by exchanging messages and photos during the late summer of 2010.

Provan offered to take the girl out to the cinema but took her to woods in Harold Hill, Romford, where he pinned her against a tree and raped her.

He then drove to a nearby McDonald’s and ordered two milkshakes at the drive through where he “researched films the two could have watched to trick her father,” said Anthony Metzer, QC, prosecutin­g. the defendant pulled over in a car park by some woods. This is where the prosecutio­n say the first rape took place.

“Mr Provan asked for a kiss, progressiv­ely started kissing her neck, touching her breasts, before pulling out a condom.

“He asked her if they should ‘do it’ meaning, ‘have sex’, she said, ‘no’, he kept asking and she stepped away.

“But this refusal wasn’t sufficient for Mr Provan to desist, he continued saying they should, ‘do it’, and telling her to take her trousers down.

“She continued to refuse but he did not give up, he unzipped his own jeans, pulled his own jeans down, put on a condom and pinned her against a tree.

“She froze with fear and he continued – pulled down her leggings and underwear.”

Provan then had sex with the girl “until he was satisfied”, said the prosecutor.

“There was no exchange during the act, she had frozen.

“Unfortunat­ely, for her the film would not have finished by then. Mr Provan took her for yet another walk. She was of course still traumatise­d by the first incident, withdrawn.

“They went to a children’s play area, he played on the swings whilst she remained passive from her fresh trauma.

“He then took her to a bench on the hill. He asked her if she wanted to ‘give her head’, oral sex. She refused. Again, he insisted.”

Mr Metzer added: “This put an end to the hellish date she had been taken on and Mr Provan finally drove her home.

“It was only once home that she was informed by her dad of Mr Provan’s real age.

Provan was about 31 at the time of the allegation­s, the court heard. He was arrested on June 1, 2016 and expressly denied the allegation­s.

The Kiertling Newmarket, Suffolk, man denies two counts of rape and the trial continues.
