A woman told a court she was lured to a caravan in a remote spot near Colwyn Bay and subjected to a serious sexual assault.
She had gone to the caravan with Barrie Philip Hill to look at some furniture.
But when she got to the caravan the furniture was “missing” and it was at that point that Hill began to assault her.
Hill, 49, of Maes Derw, Llandudno Junction , denies a charge of attempted rape and is standing trial at Caernarfon Crown Court.
In a video interview, the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she had given Hill no encouragement for him to have sex with her.
“Eight times I told him to stop," she said.
"He was making me scared but I didn’t want to make him angry.
“I shouted at him to stop for 10 to 15 minutes, but he would not take no for an answer.”
The woman added she felt “set up” by Hill.
She told the jury Hill had offered to show her some furniture at his flat and at a farm at Bryn y Maen, and she had agreed to accompany him to see them.
The woman said there was a wooden chest at Hill’s flat which would not be available until he had found a replacement.
They then went in Hill’s car to the farm.
“I thought we were going to the farm to meet the owners in the farmhouse," she said.
"When we got there, he led me to the caravan and once inside there was no furniture.”
After the alleged assault in May 2014, she had sent Hill a text message telling him what had happened was “horrible”.
Quizzed by defence barrister Simon Mintz about how Hill had managed to carry out the assault in a small caravan, the woman said: “He’s a very strong man.”
Mr Mintz repeatedly asked the woman if the incident had happened and she insisted it had.
Asked if she had been at the caravan for less than 10 minutes and had taken two pieces of furniture away that day, she said: “That’s not true.”
“No sex took place at all,” the barrister said.
“That’s not true either,” she said.
The trial continues.
