The biological mother of the 4‑year‑old girl who was allegedly raped by a 33‑year‑old man took the witness stand today.
The 33‑year‑old man is the de facto partner of the biological mother’s aunt.
The aunt had adopted the girl from when she was 4 days old.
The 22-year-old biological mother today revealed that she had been told by the accused’s defacto partner that she was raped by the man.
She said the adopted mother of the child had been in a relationship with the accused man for about 6 to 7 years.
The matter is being heard before High Court Judge Justice Riyaz Hamza.
