An Afghan man accused of targeting and repeatedly raping a 12-year-old girl has denied “circling the streets” to find her after she was allegedly strangled on a bridge.
Giving evidence for a second day at Warwick Crown Court, Ahmad Mulakhil said he did not have a sexual interest in the girl after she spoke to his friend, Mohammad Kabir, in Nuneaton in July.
The 23-year-old previously admitted oral rape but denied two other counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, child abduction and taking indecent images of a child.
