A WOMAN of 76 was allegedly terrorised by a drunken man who molested her in her own home and demanded sex, a jury was told.

Burnley Crown Court heard the arthritis-stricken pensioner, who used a walking frame, was followed into her kitchen by Terence Lord, 47.

He grabbed her and rubbed himself against her.

Lord then left the woman's home in Accrington and attacked a 13-year-old girl in the street, saying he wanted to get her into bed.

Lord, of Bridge Street, Blackburn, denies two counts of indecent assault, on January 29.

Tina Landale, prosecuting, said the 76-year-old victim was frightened and horrified after Lord assaulted her and she shouted out for help.

She threatened to call the police and rang her friend across the road, who then saw Lord leaving her home.

The friend went to comfort the alleged victim and police were called.

She said Lord then walked along Blackburn Road, where he approached a 13 year old girl.

He grabbed her by the arm, tugged at her clothes and told her he wanted to get her into bed.

The schoolgirl ran home and told her mother what had happened.

When Lord was questioned later that day, he denied indecently assaulting the pensioner.

He changed his version of events several times and also about the route he took home.

Lord said he did not go home through the area where the 13-year-old was assaulted.
