Accountant Philip Webster, 57, said he was shocked when the police came to arrest him at his luxury home at Cherry Burton, near Beverley, on October 19 2007 and, when told the victim’s Christian name, he replied “Who?”

Webster, who is also a former director of finance at Hull City FC, formally denied attacking the woman and girl after taking the stand in his trial at Hull Crown Court.

Dressed in pinstripe suit and tie he told the jury: “I didn’t regard the allegations as having any substance at all.”

He said police took him to Beverley Police Station where he waited five hours to be interviewed.

The jury has already heard how he made a number of “no comment” responses to the police.

Asked by his barrister Derek Duffy how he felt on that day he replied: “Every emotion known to man went through my mind, but I could not do anything about it.

“It was purgatory. I didn’t have sexual contact with this girl. I was absolutely furious.”

He repeatedly told the jury he had not assaulted the girl or the woman and dismissed suggestions about his character as “controlling”.

However Webster accepted he could be “boisterous when in drink”.

He said: “I don’t hold views lightly. My values and standards are high.”

The court heard how Webster had played rugby union as a young man and also enjoyed tomfoolery – “the type some people would take objection to from time to time”.

However he said he liked people to be polite.

Webster denies three allegation of rape on the woman in June 2005.

He told the court that, on the day of the alleged attack, he had been out drinking in the Bay Horse, at Cherry Burton, and had become involved in a scuffle where he was punched.

He admitted he had been drinking and later got a friend to drive and spent further time drinking in a friend’s garden and at the Barrel in Walkington. He insisted he was nowhere near the scene of the alleged rape.

Webster of Malton Road, Cherry Burton, has denied four charges of rape and one charge of indecent assault.

The trial continues.
