Alleged victim made rape threat before incident, claims accused

A man accused of raping his ex-girlfriend has told a jury that the complainant attacked him two days before the alleged assault and said she was going "to get me charged with rape and threatening to kill my child".

The 19-year-old man told his defence counsel Mr John Aylmer SC (with Ms Sandra Frayne BL), that he had been out with his then-girlfriend when his mother called him and said the child had been taken to hospital.
