He later told police: “He did some bad stuff to me. He hurt me. He does it every day.”

The accused, now 14, who cannot be named for legal reasons, came to the UK alone aged nine and had been with the family for 2½ years in Reading, Berks.

Footage of police interviews with the little boy, watched by the jury, showed him being reluctant to recount his ordeal but telling police the teenager had punched and kicked him.

When asked 'which part of your body was hurting', he eventually said: "my bum," and touched his bottom.

He told police: "He did some bad stuff to me. He made me go upstairs and he hurt me."

Placing a cushion over his face to hide his face from the police officer, the child eventually said: "He started kissing me and stuff."

He went on to tell cops police how the elder boy would pull down his trousers and assault him.

The seven-year-old said 10 attacks had taken place, before bedtime and in the morning, in his grandmas house.

DNA matching his was found in tests on the boy.

The lad denies rape and assault and the trial at the Reading crown court continues.
