Woman 'horrified' by hug from 'hairy monster' DJ, Dave Lee Travis, court hears I was a naive country girl. The witness, giving evidence behind a grey curtain to avoid seeing the defendant at Southwark Crown Court, said she was assaulted by the disc jockey at the hotel where she worked in the 1980s, aged 18 or 19. She told the court she spent the rest of her shift watching the lift doors, afraid that Travis would return. Travis, in the dock wearing a dark suit and pink shirt with a tie emblazoned with the word "blam," sighed and groaned as the woman recalled how Travis allegedly approached her later at the reception desk and asked: "Will I be having the pleasure of your company later on?" The witness said she did not answer the question. "I just thought something was terribly wrong," she said. I thought I was going to be in trouble. The woman told the court Travis first started to meddle with her clothing as they shared a lift to his room, where she was to leave his bags. She said: "I had a bow on my blouse and he (Travis) started to twiddle with the bow. I felt uncomfortable. I thought: 'something's wrong with my bow - this is awful'. I felt that I was in trouble because my uniform wasn't up to standard. After being "relieved" to reach the room, the woman said Travis instructed her to take his bag all the way into the room, by his bed. She said: "He then had his arms around me, and enveloped me and gave me a massive bear hug. I was horrified, I was held very firmly. He carried on hugging me. He started rubbing his hands up and down my top and lower back, and then on my bum. I was in utter shock. I just didn't know how to deal with it. The witness said Travis released his hands, prompting her to run to the ground floor. She said she spent the rest of her shift in fear that Travis would confront her later. She told the court: "He approached the desk. He said: 'Will I be having the pleasure of your company later on?' I didn't answer the question. I just thought something was terribly wrong. She told the court she mentioned the incident to her boyfriend at the time, but minimised the scale of the alleged assault because her boyfriend was "possessive." Stephen Vullo, defending, put it to the witness that Travis, "a big, strong man," was able to carry his own case to the room. The witness replied: "No, I carried it." The woman said she does not know how she got through the rest of her shift. She said she came forward to police after seeing Travis give a television interview dismissing any involvement in allegations linked to the case of shamed entertainer Jimmy Savile. When asked if she had made up the allegation, she said: "No, I have no reason to." The alleged victim said she believed the vintage clip - shown before the jury - would have been edited by the BBC at the time due to what she believed was "quite obvious." "I thought, to me, because it happened to me, it was quite obvious," she said. She also said that Travis specifically requested for her and her friend to appear in the shot. Stephen Vullo, defending, said the witness appeared to be smiling in a still image. "You smile because you were perfectly happy to be where you were and nothing bad was happening to you," he said. The witness replied: "A lot of photos are taken and they don't always tell the truth." She added: "You can see from the video I'm not happy." The witness's friend, who joined the alleged victim on the set, said the footage of them had been edited down by the BBC -or "shrunk." The introduction to the record was a lot longer. He (Travis) commentated a lot longer," the woman said. When I watched it back there was just the head part, not the body shot of us which would have been there originally. Mr Vullo challenged her suggestion. He said: "This is absolute nonsense. You have seen a lot of coverage of Mr Travis. She said the evening was "marred" by the alleged assault. I didn't want the good evening to end but it had been marred, hadn't it? It ruined the whole night. It ruined the whole memory, actually," she said. Asked if she had colluded with her friend to provide false evidence against the DJ, the woman said: "I'm not." Asked if it was a false accusation, she said: "It actually happened, so it's true." She said she would not "waste time coming here to tell a load of lies," adding that she did not want to come at all "because it's such a high profile case," and said it was both "scary" and "nerve-wracking." The witness described how the pair agreed not to tell anyone about the incident. She told the court: "I asked what she (her friend) wanted to do about it (the alleged fumbling) but felt nobody would really believe what happened. He was a big famous DJ, we were nothing. We decided to go home and say nothing. She said she knew Travis as "the hairy monster." "The thought of him giving me a kiss or a cuddle was not a nice thought," she added. The woman said she was not sure if she stayed for the last act on the show
