Carley also denied attacking her at his flat in Mile End flat 10 months earlier.
He invited her to the flat to download music onto her games console, he told Snaresbrook crown court on Tuesday.
But prosecutor Babatunde Alabi told jurors: “Cawley pinned her on to the sofa and started touching her, then pulled down her tracksuit and put his hands into her underwear. She tried to keep her knees together and asked him to get off.”
Cawley denies charges of sexual activity with a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. The trial continues.
