London: A karate instructor - a non-resident Indian - has been accused of having "countless" sex sessions with a teenage schoolgirl who attended his martial arts classes, a British court has heard.
According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, 48-year-old Jaspal Riat had sexual relationship with the girl when she was aged 13 and 14, Gloucester Crown Court heard yesterday.
The girl has died since the alleged offences, which took place between February 2008 and May 2009.
Alan Kent, prosecutor, told the jury that Riat wooed the girl with compliments and sexual comments and bombarded her with text messages, finally telling her he had fallen in love with her.
"The next thing she remembered was waking up next morning naked in bed with the man on top of her having sex with her," he told the court. "Thereafter, there were countless occasions where sexual activity took place between them."
However, when Swann said she would have to speak to her superiors, the girl changed her story, claiming she had an 18-year-old boyfriend.
When questioned by police, Riat said the girl had sent him sexually-explicit texts and pictures of her and claimed she had made the allegations because he would not let her train for her black belt.
