Complainant has Down syndrome

guilty to two counts of rape and three of sexual assault.

Evidence from his accuser, including a police interview conducted the day after the incident and testimony recorded last week, will be played to the jury today.

Prosecutor Jim Shaw said, although she needed help communicating, the woman’s evidence would explain how Mr Clissold took her back to his unit, and detail how he exploited her vulnerability.

But lawyer Tim Sullivan said his client denied the explicit description of the encounter in his bedroom.

“They simply didn’t get that far, the clothes didn’t come off,” Mr Sullivan said.

The jury heard Mr Clissold drove into Geelong on the morning of September 13, 2016, arriving at the Moorabool St bus interchange about 7.45am.

Mr Shaw said “he sat down and he waited” 50 minutes, until the woman got off her bus, bound for a weekly appointment with a disability support agency.

Security camera images seen by the jury show him approach the woman and start a conversation, and then, minutes later, get into his car.

Before 9am the pair entered Mr Clissold’s St Albans Rd unit under the watch of his security camera.

Mr Shaw said the pair went straight to the bedroom, where the sexual assault is alleged to have taken place, and the man then cooked them eggs.

About 1pm they drove back into Geelong, where the woman arrived for her appointment four hours late, telling agency workers she had been with her “boyfriend”.

Under questioning from her carers later that day, including one who had worked with the woman for 20 years, the rape and sexual assault was alleged.

“(The complainant said) she told the man to stop, and he said, ‘no’,” Mr Shaw said.

Police were called, forensic testing was conducted and Mr Clissold was arrested within a fortnight after he was identified from a security image.
