Thomas and Daryl Salt
Twin brothers allegedly raped a terrified woman who was forced into having a threesome, a court heard.
Daryl Salt, 25, had just had consensual sex with the victim when his brother Thomas joined them in bed.
Richard Bennett, prosecuting, said the woman did not struggle but “acquiesced through fear” when both men then raped her.
The twins later told police the allegations were “lies”.
Daryl Salt, a pub landlord, is charged with raping and falsely imprisoning two women.
Thomas Salt is charged with raping and sexually assaulting the woman who was allegedly forced into the threesome.
All charges relate to the period between 2010 and 2012.
Mr Bennett said: “Both defendants were interviewed. They both said the allegations were lies.”
Daryl Salt was described in court as a Jekyll and Hyde character who had “a veneer of charm with an explosive and violent temper”.
His second alleged victim said she was locked in his property and he removed the doorknob to stop her from escaping, Mr Bennett said.
The woman tried to flee but he dragged her back upstairs, threw her on the bed and ripped her clothes off, the court heard.
“Daryl Salt put his arms around her throat and restricted her breathing by applying pressure,” Mr Bennett said.
“She thought she was going to die at that stage and sought to calm him down.”
They fell asleep but she was still imprisoned when they awoke, the court heard.
He raped her, despite the victim repeatedly saying “no”, Mr Bennett said.
He then took “souvenir” photos of the woman as she dressed, some of them covertly, the court heard.
The jury was shown pictures recovered from his mobile phone.
The prosecution said: “When she objected to him he told her he was going to put them all over Facebook and show people what a slapper she was.”
Daryl Salt is accused of five counts of rape and two counts of false imprisonment against two women between May 2010 and July 2012.
It is alleged he raped the first complainant a total of four times and the second complainant once.
In the same period Thomas Salt is accused of two counts of rape and one of assault by penetration against the first of the two alleged victims.
Both brothers, from Camblesforth, near Selby, North Yorks, deny all the charges.
The trial at Teesside crown court continues.
