A deaf woman was raped by a teenager who first tried to proposition her by writing notes, a jury has heard.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the woman made it clear to Daryl Davies, 18, from Barry, that she did not want sex.
Davies, 17 at the time, denies rape and claims the woman gave her consent to sex at a friend's flat following a night out.
The case is due to continue on Tuesday when the woman is to give evidence through a sign language interpreter.
Afterwards he said he was sorry and told her he loved her
Martyn Kelly, prosecutor
The jury was shown copies of notes which were allegedly passed between the pair.
Prosecutor Martyn Kelly said the notes, which were written on bits of envelope, made it "perfectly clear" the woman didn't want sex.
He said: "She was sitting on a sofa when Davies tried to force her to perform a sex act on him.
"She became scared about staying in the room and went to a bedroom to go to sleep.
"He followed her in and pushed her onto the bed. He held her arms above her head and raped her."
Fell asleep
Mr Kelly told the court that after the rape Davies told the woman he loved her, and asked if she felt the same way, but the woman had replied "No".
The court heard Davies then proposed to the woman as he cuddled her in bed.
When he fell asleep, the woman left the room to raise the alarm.
However, Davies denies raping the woman, and claims the sex was consensual.
