A transgender Met Police volunteer had daily video chats with their alleged rape victim before sexually assaulting her at the age of 12, a court has heard.
James Bubb, who now identifies as a woman named Gwyn Samuels, regularly spoke to the girl over text and video call before the alleged attack, Amersham Law Courts was told.
The court heard the pair met on video chat site Omegle in 2018, when the complainant was 12 years old and the defendant was around 21.
They then met in person for the first time at a Christian festival a few months later, jurors were told.
Of their first encounter in person, Adrian Amer, defending, asked: 'At the time of meeting, did you believe you were in a relationship?'
