A WOMAN was repeatedly raped during a terrifying attack in her home, a court heard.

She was pinned down on her bed and violently abused at the hands of Paul Davies, 29, and Lee Williams, 31, Lewes Crown Court was told.

The 26-year-old met Davies, of Reading Road, and Williams, of Pett Close, both Brighton, at Yates's WineLodge during a night out with friends last July 30.

Later they parted company when she went to the nearby Beach nightclub, but the two men called on her unannounced in the early hours after she returned to her town centre flat.

She invited them in but was subjected to a brutal attack after Davies pinned her down, the court heard.She said: "It started off joking but soon I realised that Icouldn't move. I was swearing, shouting, telling them to get off and trying to struggle."

Meanwhile Williams started touching her. There followed a three-hour ordeal in her lounge, kitchen and bedroom, involving Japanese nunchakus, a razor and various household objects.

She added: "They then took a belt and a tie out of my drawers and tied my legs and arms up so I couldn't fight back."

Afterwards the two men demanded taxi money home. The woman gave them £5, then went to a friend's house when they left. She called the police a few days later.

Jeremy Golding, prosecuting, said: "This was a violent, prolonged and humiliating attack."

Williams and Davies, both unemployed, deny two charges of rape and three charges of indecent assault.

The trial continues.
