Kyle Martin John Parry from Rhostryfan claims girl may have been assaulted by someone who looks like him
A man accused of raping a young girl claimed she had wrongly identified him.
Kyle Martin John Parry, who is on trial at Caernarfon Crown Court said the girl, who was aged about seven or eight at the time, may have mistaken him for someone else.
The 21-year-old of Riddings Road, Huddersfield but formerly of Rhostryfan near Caernarfon told prosecutor Sion ap Mihangel the girl may have been assaulted by someone who looked like him.
Asked by Mr ap Mihangel if the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was mistaken Parry said: “I believe she is.”
Parry faces a charge of raping a child under 13 and a charge of sexual assault that occurred in a single incident sometime between November 2006 and November 2008.
Questioned by his barrister Owen Edwards, the former barman said he had met the girl when she was with mutual friends.
Subsequently she had visited his flat on several occasions.
The court heard the matters came to light in May when the girl became ill and was taken to hospital where she decided to tell police about the assault.
The trial continues.
