A TEENAGE girl froze in fear after being indecently assaulted by an alleged sex attacker, a court heard.
The girl told Teesside Crown Court how George Sharp would get drunk on strong cider and watch pornographic videos in her presence.
Mr Sharp, 42, of Canterbury Crescent, Willington, County Durham, denies five counts of rape and three of indecent assault.
Yesterday, a jury watched a video of an interview in which the teenager was questioned by an officer from Durham Police child protection unit.
The girl, who is now 16, said she was 13 when Mr Sharp first indecentlly touched her.
She said: "I just froze. I could not move."
On other occasions he would ask her to take her clothes off and then have sex with her.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "He always asked my perm ission to take my clothes off and I was too scared to say no."
Mr Sharp is accused of carrying out the alleged offences between March 2001 and January last year.
The trial continues.
