\"\"An eleven-year-old girl who is an alleged victim of child pornography and unlawful sexual intercourse cried in the Supreme Court as she recalled the occasions a man allegedly woke her out of her sleep to give him oral sex.<\/p>\n

The girl, who was nine between November 9, 2009 and January 8, 2010 when the alleged events occurred, told the court that on a day she was home from school due to illness, a man known to her family had entered the room she slept in and awoke her.<\/p>\n

He asked her for oral sex, the girl claimed, wiping her face with the tissue given to her by the court clerk.<\/p>\n

Edward Butler, 64, the accused, sat in a crouching position in court shaking his head as the complainant gave her evidence.<\/p>\n

He faces a charge each of unlawful sexual intercourse and child pornography, which he denies. The court heard yesterday that the oral sex allegedly continued for a short time, and afterwards the girl claimed she was told not to say anything.<\/p>\n

The girl said she went outside of the house to be with a relative who was working. When asked why she didn\u2019t tell the relative what happened, she said: \u201cCause I was scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

The girl claimed that another day she was home, it happened again, this time, with the man pulling a cell phone out of his pants pocket and photographing the act.<\/p>\n

She claimed that another time he pulled her into the bathroom to tell her that he had lost his phone but got a replacement before the oral sex happened again.<\/p>\n

The girl said she went with her mother and uncle to a police station to report the matter in May 2010.<\/p>\n

A week later, they returned to the police station where she saw the accused and his attorney present and she identified herself in the picture on the phone.<\/p>\n

The trial resumes on Monday, May 27, 2013.<\/p>\n
