A man raped his pregnant girlfriend while she was in labour after telling her he felt "horny'', a court heard. The man allegedly attacked his partner while she was on her hands and knees trying to relieve the pain of her contractions after going into labour at home in Hull, East Yorkshire. He continued to have sex with her even as she cried out in pain and begged him to stop, Hull Crown Court heard. After the alleged attack, the defendant is said to have "acted as if nothing happened'' and offered to run his girlfriend a bath. Prosecutor Michael Greenhalgh told the court how the woman entered the "advanced stages of labour'' while the couple were in bed at around 11.30pm.
