She was saying no and asking him to stop.Another alleged assault is said to have taken place in October 2023. The complainant ended the relationship in February 2024, citing what she described as coercive and violent behaviour.The court heard that on one occasion after the relationship had ended, Jamshaid allegedly entered her home and later assaulted her again despite her using a pre-agreed safe word.
