Quote:Barrister denies raping Tinder date because 'he's had anal sex with four other women
without warning who haven't complained'
Robin Jacobs is accused of having anal sex with a woman without her consent
'A barrister accused of raping a woman stated that he had engaged in anal sex with “at least four” other women
before giving any verbal warning without receiving any complaints. Robin Jacobs, 39, allegedly had anal sex with
a woman without her consent in September 2017 after meeting her on the dating app Tinder.
Taking to the witness stand at the Old Bailey today (Wednesday, August 24), Jacobs said that he thought the woman
was “probably up for anal sex” but was immediately aware that there was a problem after she screamed, “Get off”.
Jurors heard that the two were on their third date when the alleged incident occurred.
They had met for pizza and wine at a restaurant in South Woodford on September 17, before returning to Jacobs’ house
where they engaged in consensual vaginal sex. Jacobs, who was called to the Bar in 2006, is then accused of telling her
to “wait a minute” before forcing himself on to her at which she screamed and he stopped.

Taking to the witness stand, Jacobs said that “knew immediately there was a problem” after the woman shouted, “Get off”
and locked herself in the bathroom “for what felt like an eternity”. After she exited the toilet, he asked her, “are you going
to report me?”, and told jurors that he was concerned about the Bar Standards Board.
He disputed her claim that she had screamed the phrase three times and denied that the alleged assault lasted 20 to 30
seconds. He said: “I thought that she probably would be up for anal sex but if she wasn’t, there’d be ample opportunity for
her to be able to tell me that she wasn’t and then obviously I would stop.”
He also argued that he had given her warning by telling her to, "Hold steady"...'
Quote:'As well as this particular date, jurors heard how they also met up for a cup of tea and had engaged in “sexually suggestive”
messages in where they had discussed their fantasy of a threesome.
He continued: “One of the themes in her account is that I’m the person who just initiates something and she’s stood there
in silence the whole time like some innocent bystander. That couldn’t be further from the truth. "There is no similarity with
the girl on the screen to the girl I was dating. She was completely different, she was forward, she was bawdy, she was
flirtatious from the get go, it isn’t a case of me initiating everything.”
When asked by prosecutor Fiona Ray how often he had engaged in anal sex with other women without giving "any verbal
warning", he said that "at least four came to mind" and that he had not faced previous issues. Meanwhile, the woman told
police officers: "[There was] no discussion, absolutely no warning, there was no touching, foreplay, warning.
There was nothing.”
She was examined at a specialist sexual assault clinic and was found to have a fresh laceration. Jurors also heard that in
the aftermath of the incident, Jacobs had told himself twice, “It’s not funny, I shouldn’t laugh” before laughing. After realising
she was upset, he told the woman to “come for a cuddle” and offered her a paracetamol...'
Quote:'A series of text messages between Jacobs and his friend Stewart Wallis were also read in court, with the defendant writing:
“My date has just f***ed off because I tried to stick my c**k her arse, what’s the world come to?”
He later texted: “I just hope there’s no trouble as a result. I apologised repeatedly when she was here. All this fuss over a
fat girl’s a**e. Jesus.”...'
Quote:When questioned in interview about the messages, Jacobs said he was confused about what had happened and was onlyMyLondon:
trying to "fit in" with his behaviour. He also claimed that he believed anal sex would be a "natural progression" given their
earlier sexual intercourse.
Jacobs, of Woodford, has denied one count of rape. The trial continues...'
