A woman accused of raping a teenage girl has claimed in court that the alleged victim's mother demanded $50,000 days before a sexual assault complaint was made to police.
Lee Hili told the court today that a car approached their front gate at night about 12 days after the party.Lee Hili said the woman then jumped back in her car and she did not think much of it at the time as she believed the woman was connected to the former owners of the couple's home. "Our lawyers had asked us to look through friends on Facebook. I saw it was her mother," Lee Hili said.Crown prosecutor Melissa Wilson later told the jury that the alleged victim had no knowledge of the alleged demand for money.
Defence barrister Gregory McGuire asked Lee Hili if she had sexually assaulted the girl or had been present while she was being assaulted.She told the court she had just tried to calm the girl down after finding her in the couple's bedroom and suffering from a panic attack.Under cross-examination by Wilson, Lee Hili denied asking the girl about her sexual preferences and experience prior to the alleged assaults.
