Castleford PCSO accused of rape says she started it

Orhan Yigit, 44, from Castleford in West Yorkshire, is accused of forcing himself on one of his victims on three separate occasions

A PCSO accused of raping a domestic violence victim in her home claims she undid his trousers telling him she was unhappy with her marriage and ‘sexually frustrated’.

Orhan Yigit, 44, forced himself on his victim on three separate occasions after befriending her husband, coming to her home in full uniform when he was out, a court heard.

A trial at Leeds Crown Court was told Yigit, known as ‘Pedro’, offered to help her escape her abusive husband and get her into a ‘nice refuge’ in exchange for sexual favours.

He is also accused of making sexual advances on another woman when she came to the door in a nightdress when he was investigating the theft of her van.

Yigit, of Castleford, West Yorkshire, admitted exchanging text messages with his first victim before going to her house. 

He told the hearing: ‘She was heavily made up and had tight jeans and a top on.’

The officer said the woman told him she was unhappy with her relationship before unzipping his trousers and initiating sexual activity between them.

James Littlehales, defending, asked: ‘Did you force yourself upon her?

To which Yigit replied: ‘No, I would never do that.’

While his victim claims he exposed himself to her, the 44-year-old slammed her account as ‘fiction’. 

Yigit denies two counts of sexual assault, one count of rape and one of misconduct in public office between September 2015 and April 2016

He also said his marriage was under strain at the time.   

A previous hearing heard he ‘forced his tongue down her throat’ for 60-90 seconds while on another occasion he stripped naked and appeared in her living room.

Ian Brooke, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court how one day between September and December 2016, Yigit appeared at her house under the pretence of surveying drug activity at a neighbour’s house.

He said: ‘She asked him if he had done anything about the drug dealing and he said he would go upstairs to have a look out of the window.

‘He then asked if he could go into the bedroom to get a better view.

‘Once in there he turned around and said, ‘do me favours and I’ll do you a favour’.

‘He knew how desperate she was to get out of her situation.

‘She asked him what he meant and he told her he was on his lunch hour so could not do a lot but they could meet elsewhere and for everything she did he would make she get into a nice refuge. 

‘She was low and desperate. He pushed her gently towards the bed.’ 

Mr Brooke said Yigit asked the woman to perform a sex act on him.

He said: ‘He stood with his trousers around his ankles and took her jumper off.

‘He saw the bruises on her chest and arms and said ‘how desperate are you to get out?’

The woman is said to have performed the sex act on Yigit.  

He slipped his hands under her bra straps and rubbed her shoulders when she became upset about the theft. 

Yigit denied any wrongdoing, claiming he put his arm around her to comfort her when she became upset.

He denies rape, two charges of sex assault and misconduct in a public office between 2015 and 2016.

The trial continues.
