A SUFFOLK man 'used' a woman for sex after relations with his wife broke down, a court heard.
52 year old Trevor Baker, from Bury St Edmunds, appeared before an Ipswich judge accused of raping a woman in her 40s, over a seven year period.
After the last alleged assault in September last year the woman, who cannot be named, texted a friend to say "He had me again, Call the cops".
Ipswich Crown Court heard how the woman first reported Baker to police in 2001 but withdrew the allegation telling Baker she would report him if it happened again.

In a police interview Baker admitted having sex with the woman once but said it was with her consent.
