An American woman has told how she was left bleeding after she was brutally raped by the husband of a former British number one tennis star
The woman, who cannot be named, told how she feared corporate lawyer Andrew Bretherton would ‘suffocate' her in the bedroom of his ‘small flat in a grand building' after he pushed her face into the pillow with his ‘semi-professional tennis arm'.
In an interview which was recorded at Kensington Police station in 2018 the woman revealed how she had urged Bretherton to ‘slow down' as he continuously ‘shoved his hands down my pants' and ‘fondled my breasts'.
But in the hour-long recording the woman told how she was forced to ‘let him do what he was doing' after the young lawyer loosened his grip and she was able to ‘gasp a bit of air'.

The Anglo-American woman said of the alleged 2008 attack: ‘He slapped me hard on my behind and after I was no longer in control.

The woman told how the rape only ended after ‘scrunched up into a ball' and took on the shape of a ‘inch worm'.
Bretherton, who qualified at elite law firm Slaughter and May, met the woman through a mutual friend in the summer of 2007.
