Willem Manuel's friend had been accused of rape, a court has heard
The friend of an alleged rapist told the woman who reported the crime "Please drop the case" after spotting her in a Leeds nightclub smoking area.
Ms Pearson continued: "It seems to have happened that he saw her outside. He approached her and she told the police he said: 'Please drop the case - did he rape you?' She told him she had been raped and he said, 'He didn't, I know him.'The court heard Manuel, of Windsor Lane, Wetherby, said: "It's all bull****."
In a victim impact statement, the court heard the woman felt the incident "set her back" and "still has to go through giving evidence about the allegations and made that worse." Judge Batty said it is clear Manuel has "turned things around." He said: "I take the view on the evidence you weren't looking for her but it has had quite an impact on her. It is not the most serious but there was some distress because what she alleges is really serious.
