A MAN raped a schoolgirl and sexually assaulted her friend after luring them away from Bournemouth beach, a court heard.
Antony Demetriades, 24, is accused of attacking both teens in an alleyway behind the Oceanarium in the seaside town.

He sexually assaulted one of the girls before raping her 15-year-old friend when the first alleged victim ran to get help, jurors heard.
Demetriades then allegedly warned: “No one can find out about this.”
Bournemouth Crown Court heard the girls had been sunbathing on the beach on May 19 last year when they were approached by Demetriades.
He asked one of the teens for their number then lured both away from their friends towards the aquarium, it was said.
Speaking to police, the second girl, who was allegedly raped by Demetriades, told how he first pushed her friend against a wall.
She said: “He pulled down his trousers, I was quite shocked by what was happening.
“I can’t really remember how it happened but I’m on the floor.
“[The other girl] leaves and he shuts the gate. I say ‘please can I go, I want to be with [her]’, he then says ‘no’.
“I kind of knew what was going to happen and just blocked the noise out.
“I said no, I made sure I said no to him.
“As I was leaving he grabbed my hand and said ‘no one can find out about this’.
“I was in tears, I just kept saying to myself ‘I said no’.”
The court was told the first girl attempted to push Demetriades off her friend “but unable to prevent what was happening she decided to run off and get help”.
He later claimed everything had been consensual but said he should have been more classy and left when the first girl did.
Demetriades, from Bournemouth, denies two counts of sexual assault and two of rape.
The trial continues.
