Prosecutors claimed a 37-year-old Belfast man also threatened her with a knife after being told she was pregnant with his baby. A so-called “good Samaritan” discovered her lying by the side of a road in Bangor following the incident on September 26th. Details emerged as the accused was refused bail on charges which involve plying the teenager with crack cocaine as part of a campaign of sexual and physical violence.
