Jade Goody's Widower Charged With Rape

By PopEater / Wire Services Posted Sep 5th 2009 12:24PM

Jack Tweed, the 22-year-old husband of late British reality TV star Jade Goody, has appeared in court on a rape charge. Police in London say they charged Goody's widower after receiving a complaint from a woman. At a court hearing Saturday he was ordered detained until a further appearance Sept. 21.

Tweed and Goody married in February, a month before her death at 27 from cervical cancer.

Weeks later Tweed was jailed for 12 weeks for attacking a cab driver. He has said he has struggled to cope with Goody's death.

Despite speaking readily to the press about his grief, Tweed admitted sleeping with model Lisa O'Connor just three months after Goody's death. He told the Daily Mirror at the time, "I didn't stay the night. I had started to sober up and left after it happened. I felt so guilty that I started crying when I went home."

"I can't remember it at all. I'd had so much to drink and I'm a bloke and these things happen. It's all very blurry," he explained, and added that he was plagued by thoughts of Jade. "I think, 'What happens if she can see and she saw me doing that?' I know she told me to move on, but it's very soon."

Goody was a brash former dental nurse who became famous in 2002 when she appeared the British 'Big Brother.' Her public life and death became a national soap opera, and the cause of soul-searching about the nature of celebrity.
