A man sent his friend a ‘sad face’ emoji on WhatsApp after allegedly raping her. Ryan Falconer, 24, is accused of raping the complainant, a 21-year-old woman who cannot be named for legal reasons, at her parents’ home in Bradford.
The two had met and struck up a friendship a few years earlier, and would often chat to each other on WhatsApp, Bradford Crown Court heard.
Despite Falconer being in a relationship and having a young son, he often sent the then-20-year-old suggestive texts, asking her to send him naked photos and to give him oral sex.
On the evening of May 16 last year, the young woman invited Falconer to her home where she lived with her parents.The jury heard he arrived at around 8.45pm and the two went to the girl’s bedroom, where the alleged rape happened.
Falconer had sex with the woman after pulling her on top of him, despite her repeatedly saying ‘No, I don’t want to, stop, get off me,’ the woman told the court.
She said she asked him to leave just before 10pm, and then Googled ‘I think I have just been raped’ and ‘was it rape’.
The woman told the court she didn’t shout for help because she ‘just froze. I kept saying no – and you don’t want your parents to see you getting raped’.
