A high-profile Melbourne man is facing charges of rape and sexual assault after a former personal assistant accused him of attacking her during an evening at his home. According to prosecutors, the incident occurred in March 2023 when the woman allegedly spent time with the man, consuming alcohol and cocaine, before being sexually assaulted. She reportedly resisted and verbally confronted him, calling him a 'rapist' and punching him in the face. The woman later contacted police after initially hesitating due to a prior allegation she had made against law enforcement. The defense argues that the woman has credibility issues, citing past false accusations. The trial is ongoing, with the prosecution planning to present video evidence from a police interview.
