Obese man who calls himself 'big cuddly bear 'raped a woman he met on dating site after she rejected him for being too fat'

An obese man raped a woman in her own home when she rejected his advances because he was so much fatter than the photos on his dating profile implied, a court heard.

44-year-old Christopher Schubert, who described himself as a 'big cuddly bear looking for his mate' on Match.com exchanged chat messages with a woman in January 2018 before the pair then agreed to meet at her home.

But when he arrived she thought: 'S***, you're huge', Oxford Crown Court heard she told police. 

After the departure of Schubert the next morning,  the alleged victim reported to police that her guest sexually assaulted and raped her after she invited him in for a cup of tea.

 A medical examination on the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, showed 'lacerations and abrasions' which were consistent with 'rough' sex, the jury heard.
