Bill Brock, 58, of Quinlivan Place, was yesterday in Wodonga Magistrates Court committed to stand trial over alleged assault on July 19 last year.
Yesterday the doctor who treated the woman three days after the alleged assault said she had bruises and abrasions to both nipples.
Dr Melissa Cairns said she had seen dots of blood on the woman’s T-shirt, and she had told her and other staff at Wodonga hospital that she had been raped by a man named Bill.
The alleged victim’s psychiatric nurse also testified his client had complained of being assaulted.
He told the court she had appeared “agitated” when he made a regular visit to her home, and that she had confided to him she had “probably been raped”.
He said she told him that “the man” had forced her onto her bed and grabbed at her nipples and twisted them.
“The man had said to her ‘women like that sort of thing’,” he said.
Incidents of biting were also recounted by one of Brock’s former girlfriends during the committal hearing.
The Wodonga woman, 42, dated Brock for about five weeks in 2006, and told the court she could remember seven times he had hurt her during intimate encounters.
“Just after we started going out he reckoned he had new some technique of massage or something,” she said.
“He put his mouth down there and went to suck on my nipple and bit me.
“He just had this thing about breasts.”
She said the fourth time it happened she felt like she was being “molested”.
“He was on top of me and he just bit me,” she recounted.
“I said ‘no, no, no, stop, I don’t feel comfortable’.”
Brock has pleaded not guilty to five charges, including intentionally causing injury and indecent assault.
Five other charges, including one of assault with attempt to rape, were dismissed by magistrate Susan Armour because of insufficient evidence.
Brock is due appear again in the Melbourne County Court, via video link in November.
