A PROSTITUTE was beaten with a hockey stick by a naked customer who raped her twice, a court heard yesterday.
The 21-year-old said she was driven to the man's home from a red light area, after agreeing a price for oral sex.
But in his bedroom he demanded sexual intercourse.
When she refused, he grabbed the hockey stick and began beating her with it, until she agreed to have sex, said prosecutor Timothy Bubb. She said she was twice forced to have sex, once without a condom.
After she escaped from the house in Middlesbrough, he ran after her into the street, still naked. A neighbour who saw them invited the girl inside and she rang a girlfriend, and the police were alerted.
The woman told Teesside Crown Court: "I was a prostitute then because I had an £80 a day heroin and crack cocaine addiction. I never had sex for money without a condom because it's not worth risking my life for money. But I am now clean and I have all but given up prostitution."
Dhirgan Jumma, 23, of Pierse Close, Middlesbrough, denies two charges of rape her last October.
The case continues.
