Ben Freeman has appeared in court in Barbados after being accused of raping a 16-year-old girl.
The former Emmerdale star is alleged to have forced the girl to have sex with him against her will by a hotel pool in November 2006.
Director of Public Prosecutions Charles Leacock outlined to the jury what he believes took place.
"They were in the smaller pool swimming when the complainant says the accused made advances by kissing her on the lips," he said
"She will tell you she protested his advances. He then lifted her out of the pool and placed her in one of the lounge chairs around the pool.
"He proceeded to have sexual intercourse with her without her consent... She will tell you she protested and she cried and begged him not to."
Freeman, who played Scott Windsor in the ITV soap, denies the charges.
The trial continues.
