AdvertisementCrown prosecutor David Stevens told the court the charges related to events at a party at the man's Auckland house in September 2014. The court heard that after the third attack, the woman ran from the house and called her flatmate. The court heard the complainant had arrived at the party in the early afternoon. Sometime later the woman heard the same heavy footsteps, the court heard. Then the door opened and the defendant pushed the bed aside and re-entered the room, the court heard.
