A POLICE Community Support Officer bragged about having two homes and celebrity friends before raping a young woman in his mother’s flat, a court heard.

The woman said she agreed to go home with the officer after saying she felt safe with policeman.

Jamal Robinson gave the young woman his badge to hold and told her cops could get free VIP treatment after meeting her in a Brighton nightclub.

The 29-year-old police community support officer (PCSO) said he had his dream job with the Met and bragged about celebrity friends, the young woman told police.

Robinson, of Hove, denies raping and sexually assaulting the woman on December 14, 2019.

The PCSO - known to friends as Bertie - said he had homes in London and Brighton before taking the woman back to his mother’s flat in Worthing.

The young woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said Robinson bragged about knowing YouTubers Conor Maynard and Caspar Lee.

He told the woman he was sending a video of them in the club to Conor Maynard before putting his number into her phone with a police emoji next to it.

The young woman told how the officer did not stop after she told him “no”.

“I was very firm,” she said in a police interview. “I said it hurts, I’m in pain, I’m tired, I need to go home.”

The woman said she told her friend: “He made me do things I didn’t want to do, I’m in so much pain. I think I’m going to cry.”

The woman described Robinson as intimidating, annoying and “up himself”.

She said: “He was so intimidating, the way he would talk - so London-ish. He was very up himself as well. I think he thought, ‘Why would she not want to?’ He was very cold.”

The woman, now aged 21, said she had drunk more than she normally would on a night out after having Christmas drinks at home with her family.

She said the officer approached her and her friend at the bar in a Brighton nightclub.

“He said let me sort you out, buying me and my friend a drink. It’s not unusual, it’s not uncommon for a guy to buy us a drink,” she told police.

“He just kept talking about being a police officer, showing us his badge, saying he had just got his dream job with the Met.”

The woman and her friend moved on to another club with Robinson and his friend.

“He said we would get free VIP there because we are police and he would get one of his police friends to give us a lift.”

The officer asked the women to go home with him and his friend.

“I had a chat with my friend,” the young woman said. “She was more cautious than I was. She said come on they’re not going to break the law.”

After consenting to sex, the woman told police she said “no” when Mr Robinson tried to have sex again.

She said: “I said I’m not in the mood for sex, I’m not in the mood for any of this, I literally said ‘no’. I kept my eyes shut.

“I’ve been in this position so many times before. I usually just keep silent and get it over with. I thought he would listen given who he was and what he does. We’ve almost all been in a situation where we’ve not been brave enough to say no.”

The officer spent most of the night bragging about his job and celebrity friends, the woman said.

“He kept bragging. He took a video of me and him and sent it to Conor Maynard on WhatsApp.

“He just repeated himself constantly asking the same questions and repeating the same facts about himself all night, it was really annoying.

“He sent me a picture of himself in his police uniform,” the woman said.

The woman reported the rape after returning to college on Monday morning.

“I didn’t want to say the word, I said he forced me to have sex.”

The woman said she lost faith in the police after meeting Robinson.

She said: “With the way he was behaving, blagging lifts, getting VIP, I was even more disappointed.

"At one point he made me hold and carry his police badge."

Edward Hand, prosecuting, told the jury at Lewes Crown Court: “This case is about a small group of young people meeting up at night, going back to one of their houses.

“There comes a point where she says she doesn’t want any more sex and he carries on, that’s what this case is about.

“She agreed to sexual contact, albeit reluctantly. She went on to tell police she told the defendant she didn’t want sex and pretended to be asleep. Sexual activity instigated by him. She was reluctant to go on with it.

“The allegation in this case is she didn’t consent and he would’ve known that,” said Mr Hand.

The trial at Lewes Crown Court continues.
