A man wearing a Ku Klux Klan-style hood and armed with a knife was alleged in Court to have raped a 22-year-old woman in her bedroom over 16 years ago.

Martin Done, 44, of Grange Grove, Riddlesden, has denied raping the woman on the morning of May 19, 1989.

Done was arrested last year after a "hit" when his DNA sample taken in 1999 on an unrelated matter showed there was a one in a billion chance the attacker was not him, Leeds Crown Court heard this week.

The victim's statement, which was made just hours after the attack, was read out in her presence on Wednesday.

It revealed how the rapist threatened to kill her and her six-week-old baby if she resisted, and how he carried out the act as she held off her snarling pet dog, Smudge, who had come into the bedroom.

And the statement added all she could think about as she was being raped was how much she loved her husband and "how much he meant to me".

The jury heard how the rapist entered her home through the back door, which was open because of the fair weather.

He was wearing a Ku Klux Klan-style hood with diamond-shaped eyeholes and carried a knife resembling a Stanley knife.

He put his arm over her mouth as she screamed and then told her to shut up or he would kill her baby.

At first he seemed nervous and agitated, then ordered her upstairs, she said.

She recalled: "I thought he was going to kill me.

"It didn't enter my head he was going to rape me.

"I pleaded over and over again not to harm my baby."

She began sobbing because she realised she was going to be raped.

"All I could think of was how much I loved my husband and how much he meant to me. I thought 'what monster could do this to me?'"

The man ordered her to get on the bed, where the act was carried out.

"Smudge was with me throughout the ordeal. She went for him. He said 'get that dog away' and I held on to her collar. She was snapping and snarling as if she knew something was wrong," she said.

When he left she armed herself with a kitchen carving knife -- fearing he was still in the house -- and then telephoned her parents and the police.

Two weeks after the rape she and her husband sold the house.

Maryanne Younie, of the forensic unit at Wetherby, said it was DNA samples from Done that revealed it was a one in a billion chance the rapist was not him.

But she agreed that if the probability took into account that a brother could have been involved, it would be reduced to one in 24,000 -- and if it was one of five brothers -- reduced to one in 6,000.

The jury was told yesterday that four brothers of the accused refused to give samples of their DNA, requested as part of the investigation. Det Supt John Parkinson said that without reasonable grounds for suspicion, there are no grounds for compelling anyone to give a DNA sample.

The trial was continuing as the Keighley News went to press.
