James Roberson
Reporter, East Midlands TodayA woman has denied making up a rape allegation against a retired Nottinghamshire teacher in the hopes of getting compensation.
Christopher Metcalfe taught the girl, now in her 40s, at Skegby Hall, a children's home near Mansfield, in the 1980s.
In Derby Crown Court today she said she was 15 or 16 when Mr Metcalfe, her rural studies teacher, took her to his house.
She said Metcalfe "threw me on to the floor" and, after 10 minutes of raping her, he was interrupted when a young man, believed to be his son, came home.
Mr Metcalfe's barrister suggested the rape never happened and she's just making it up to get compensation, which she denied.
The trial has so far heard that during the 70s and 80s Mr Metcalfe, 70, of Blidworth, indecently assaulted three girls.
One, who was nine years old and one of his pupils, said she was abused at her village primary school, near Mansfield, and again at a local swimming pool.
The other two complainants say they were both abused at his family home in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
He denies five separate sex offences.
The trial continues.

The Canal and River Trust has said litter dumped in the canal here around Castle Lock in Nottingham is harmful to wildlife.
Sean McGinley, from the trust, which is responsible for cleaning this stretch, said: "It really is a crying shame, it makes you wonder what goes through people's minds when they're dropping litter."
He said wildlife will be affected by rubbish like this, particularly birds.
"Little bits of plastic can get caught round legs and fish can digest this rubbish," he added.
The city council said it treats fly-tipping very seriously and takes action wherever possible:
Quote MessageFly-tipping is not only illegal, it spoils the appearance of the local environment for everyone. Anyone caught fly-tipping could receive a fixed penalty notice or be taken to court. We'll be in touch with the Canal and River Trust to see what action could be taken in this instance."
