Jack Tweed 'raped teen after asking for threesome'

Jade Goody's widower denies charges

Jack Tweed denies raping a 19-year-old after a night out in London

Jack Tweed raped a teenager at his Essex home after pestering her for a threesome, a court heard.

The 22-year-old allegedly assaulted the girl, then 19, as his friend Anthony Davis held the bedroom door shut.

‘[He said] to Jack Tweed: "Don't worry Jack, I've got the door, do what you've got to do,"' prosecution lawyer Linda Strudwick told Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Tweed denies attacking the woman at his home in Woodford Green, in September last year after a night out at the Embassy club in London.

The court was told that after raping her the first time, Tweed pushed her back onto the bed.

He is then said to have assaulted her again before Davis allegedly raped her.

Tweed, who was married to the late Jade Goody, denies two charges of rape.

Davis, 26, an estate agent of Stradbroke Drive, Chigwell, Essex, denies one count of rape.

The trial continues.
