## Resource

A Melbourne man faces serious charges after a former personal assistant alleges he raped her twice and sexually assaulted her in March 2023. The accused, who’s pleaded not guilty, is also linked to a volatile past involving another ex-assistant who testified about a falling out — including the alleged victim’s push to get “just one drink” with him. Complicating matters, the witness claims the alleged victim was planning legal action against him, citing ties to Grace Tame’s team. Police reports describe the accused as charming and unharmed during the incident, while the victim reportedly said she wasn’t in danger. The trial is still underway.
