A POLICE doctor, who "arranged a golf trip" while examining a girl claiming to have been raped, has given evidence at the Old Bailey this morning.

Dr Christopher Smart, a Thames Valley Police forensic medical examiner, examined the 14-year-old after she told police she was raped by Bassam Karrar at the Nanford Guest House in November 2006.

Nine men accused of running a child sex exploitation and in Oxford deny all 79 charges.

Last week the woman, known as Girl 3 as she cannot be named, said the doctor was "completely insensitive" and was on the phone arranging a golf trip while she was being examined.

Today the doctor said he could not remember "specific details" about the two hour and 45 minute examination but said the girl was "tired", "tearful", and "distressed".

He described the examination as "tense and difficult".

He was not asked about the golf trip allegation.

Girl 3 told the court last week she had been beaten, choked, urinated on, and raped twice in the sex assault.

Referring to his notes, Dr Smart said he found two grazes on the back of the girl's neck and bruising around her knees.

He said: "My first opinion was the clinical examination does not reveal any evidence consistent with an allegation of sustained and, or forceful intercourse, or sustainedly social assault.

"However such lack of evidence does not exclude the possibility that the complainant was a victim of a serious sexual assault."

And he told the jury: "It's a possibility for an aggrieved party to sustain a significant sexual assault and not leave any physical signs to support that."

The girl's mother and a police officer were also present at the examination, the court heard.

The girl dropped the rape accusation after pressure from a friend, the court also heard last week.

The trial continues.
