A MAN smashed a teenager over the head with a brick and beat her unconscious before sexually assaulting her, a court was told.
Prosecutors claim Jermaine Robinson, 27, of Basford Road, Basford, leapt down steps and attacked her after she refused to have sex.
She was conscious after the blow from the brick, but Robinson is accused of punching the 19-year-old repeatedly in the face until she was unconscious.
She came round to find herself at the top of the steps, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her on June 26.
She asked: "What are you doing?" and he stopped, Nottingham Crown Court heard yesterday.
"He [Robinson] tried to say to her that a random person came over and hit both of them with a brick," prosecutor Andrew Vout told the trial.
The woman, however, remembered what had happened and told him she was not stupid and that she needed a doctor.
She ran down the steps and into the street, where she saw a man called Simon Johnson riding by on his bike on the way to work.
"He said she was bloody and in distress," said Mr Vout.
"Simon Johnson tried to talk to her. Robinson emerged and said 'she's been robbed'." Mr Johnson rode on and said he was calling the police and Robinson allegedly replied: "Phone them then".
One of the woman's phones was destroyed by Robinson, said Mr Vout, but her other one was intact and she called police.
She "tearfully" tried to tell the operator about what had happened and said that she had been hit with a brick.
Robinson ran away along Tennyson Street, Radford. When police and paramedics arrived, she needed 11 stitches to a head wound and had swelling to the right side of her head, a swollen left eye and multiple grazes and bruises.
The court heard how the woman met Robinson as he walked towards her carrying a can of lager. He asked, "Is everything OK?" and she replied, "No, it's not", and told him that a man in a car would not leave her alone.
She then had a drink with Robinson at the back of some shops. He said he had some cocaine and they walked to an alleyway in Burns Street, Radford, where the attacks are claimed to have later happened.
Robinson is alleged to have given her some cocaine. They continued drinking before going back to the shop to buy brandy and returning to the steps together.
The defendant is then said to have started to kiss her neck, complimented her and asked for sex. She said "no".
Mr Vout said: "He [Robinson] started shouting at her and then, suddenly, he took a brick, leapt down the steps and smashed her over the head with the brick using great force.
"Surprisingly, the woman was still conscious after this blow. She touched her head and it was pouring with blood. He punched her repeatedly to the face with his fist until she fell unconscious to the floor."
Robinson denies supplying cocaine, causing grievous bodily harm with intent and sexual assault on June 26.
