A woman has said she did not know if she would ever leave her alleged attacker's flat and had texted her friends "I'm scared" and "I've escaped", a court has heard.
Dekan Saed, who is originally from Iraq but was living on Portman Road at the time of the alleged incident, is accused of repeatedly raping, falsely imprisoning and strangling the woman during the early hours of Sunday, November 13.
Saed denies the charges.
The prosecution presented messages the woman sent to her friend and videos she took in the defendant’s flat.
The woman agreed to take a ride home with Saed after a night out in Ipswich.

They drove to Felixstowe, where the man bought the 22-year-old woman alcohol and cigarettes.
The defendant previously said that there was no agreement that he would take her back home, and she wanted to drive back to his place.
The woman then secretly took a video asking the man for his name.
The prosecutor said that even though the woman seemed "entirely happy", she was probably taking this footage as she was having doubts about what is going to happen.
She took another video inside Saed's flat, which showed the man’s face.
The jury then heard that the man encouraged the woman to drink more alcohol and take cocaine, which made her sick.
The woman then went to the bathroom and messaged her friend, saying: "I’m scared".
She said that she did not call the police as she hoped nothing more would happen.
Within an hour, the defendant and the woman had sexual intercourse. Saed said he was not sexually attracted to the woman and did not want to be intimate.
In the early morning, the defendant said to the woman: "I love you", while she responded: "I don’t want to be here." When she asked if she could go home now, Mr Saed said "no".
Just after she left the flat, she messaged her friend saying she "escaped" and called the police.
She previously said that she never agreed by choice to have sexual intercourse with the man.
The trial continues.
