A WOMAN brushed away tears as she recalled the morning she was woken up by a stranger climbing into her bed and touching her.

The 27-year-old, of Hazlemere, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was lying in bed when she felt someone touching her between her thighs, Aylesbury Crown Court heard.

The frightened woman hit her attacker in the face who turned out to be Jefferson Fraser, a man she and her brother had driven home with after the victim had been on a night out at The Orchard nightclub, in Hazlemere.

Prosecutor Brendan Davis said Fraser had been given permission to sleep on the victim's sofa.

Father-of-two Fraser, 37, of Nicholas Gardens, High Wycombe, pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting the woman on August 19, last year and claimed he had no memory of going to the nightclub or to the victim's home.

He said: "I do not remember having gone into her bedroom or rubbing myself against her."

But he was found guilty of indecent assault last Wednesday after the court heard DNA testing on stains left on the victim's trousers was matched to Fraser. The test showed the probability of Fraser not being the culprit was one in a billion.

Fraser's sentence was adjourned for six weeks for reports to be compiled. He was released on conditional bail.
