A MAN accused of raping five women has made no apology for seeking out a specific type of prostitute.

WARNING: Graphic

EXCLUSIVE

AN ACCUSED serial rapist has told a court he liked prostitutes with a “big backside … like Kim Kardashian”.

The 28-year-old man, who can’t be named for legal reasons, told NSW District court he had chosen at least three transsexual prostitutes for that physical attribute and that after smoking ice and having sex with them, he had taken their money or drugs.

The man is on trial accused of raping five women and assaulting others over several weeks in 2016. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

On Tuesday, a jury was shown graphic video of the accused.

He told the court he had filmed himself on his phone having sex with one of the women in a Meriton hotel in Parramatta in western Sydney.

The man had contacted the sex worker after seeing her image on a website in May 2016 and said he decided “I like the way she looked”.

Asked by his defence barrister Sally Orman-Hales if he was “looking for a specific type of prostitute”, he agreed.

“Like Kim Kardashian, they have a big … backside,” he said.

The accused said he went to the Parramatta hotel and smoked the drug ice and then engaged in sexual intercourse with the woman.

While she was absent from the room, the accused had then “looked through her purse”.

“I saw a few $50 notes I took them from her wallet,” he told the court.

The man then said he had paid the woman $50 or $100 of her own money.

Asked why he took the video of himself having sex with the alleged victim, the accused said he would later play it to his cousins to show “the girls I’ve been with”.

He is accused of raping five women.

The man, who can't be identified for legal reasons.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges against the woman, including detain for advantage, sexual assault, actual bodily harm and recklessly inflict actual bodily harm.

Under questioning by Ms Orman-Hales, the accused gave a very detailed account of his sexual performance while smoking ice.

In May, 2016, on the accused’s 26th birthday, he contacted another transsexual prostitute who had a “bigger backside” than the previous one.

The accused man said he again went to Meriton at Parramatta and went upstairs and began “mucking around” with the woman.

“I start smoking ice, she goes into the toilet,” he told the court. “She takes a little bit of ‘G’ … a liquid drug she puts on her tongue.”

The man said he and the woman then engaged in sex, after which “I went on to the balcony. I was having a cigarette. I remember calling my missus. I asked her to come and pick me up.”

Before leaving, he said he stole “all the clear tubes of the ‘G’ drug, pus “a little bit of money”.

Asked by his lawyer about the allegation he had sex with the woman against her consent, the accused said “I say it’s false”.

The accused also denied putting marks on the woman’s neck or face. “I never left a mark,” he said.

Asked whether he had sent a text message to the woman promising “I will punish you” and to get another man to put “a screwdriver n your eye”, the accused said he had done so after the woman “told me to eff off and hung up in my face”.

The accused allegedly had non-consensual sex with a third woman he met at the Sydney Park Regis apartments on June 19, 2016.

The man told the court that he went to this woman’s room to chase some money owed to him for an ice drug debt.

The accused told the court the sex was consensual.

“I myself turned things into a sexual thing. That’s what I did,” he said.

CCTV footage played to the court showed the accused and the woman in the lift of the Park Regis and later at McDonald’s at Parramatta.

The accused said he had given the woman a gold bracelet after they drove in his mother’s Audi between the two locations while “loveish doveish type of music” played in the car.

“We call it soft c**k music,” the man told the court.

Asked by his own counsel if allegations by the woman that when she is shown leaving the Park Regis with him, he had forced her to go, the accused denied it.

“I never forced her at all,” he said.

Ms Orman-Hales put to the accused that the woman allegedly felt threatened and “had to go” with him.

“That’s false,” he said.

The accused rapist (white jumper) allegedly ordered a meal for himself and the woman after raping her then taking her to North Parramatta McDonald’s.

Last week the same woman gave evidence to the trial that she had felt “really, really scared” and absolutely petrified” during her encounters with the accused.

She said she had hyperventilated, that the accused had a gun and that she “went into shock denial mode and accepted I was powerless”.

The accused told the court on Tuesday that he had never owned a gun.

On June 22, 2016, the accused contacted another transsexual prostitute through websites, because in photographs she appeared to have the “same figure, the backside, that shape”.

When he arrived, he said “I took out the pipe. Sometimes I have coke, sometimes I have ice. We had a couple of tokes together (of ice).”

But when the woman removed her clothes, the accused found her “hairy and that turned me off”, he told the court.

He told her to jump in the shower and while she was there, he searched the room and found an envelope full of $50 notes amounting to about $3000.

The accused said he took the money and concealed it in a jacket before leaving.

Asked whether he had tied up the woman or had been armed with a screwdriver, the accused said he hadn’t.

“Never. This is all lies,” he said.

Under cross-examination by Crown Prosecutor Stephanie Lind, the accused said he had made the threats against one alleged victim because of “drama” over the stolen drug ‘G’.

Asked by Ms Lind whether he had become aggressive with a victim, calling her a “little dog”, the accused agreed he had lost his temper.

“I would have said you f***ing dog, yes. I was angry because she took (a pair of glasses). A lot of people say I act aggressive, that’s just how I am.”

The accused said he was “paranoid all the time” but denied calling alleged victims a “spinner” or “dog” was aggressive, saying it was just “the language of the street”.

Asked by Ms Lind how he could afford to buy drugs such as cocaine or ice and pay escorts while on Centrelink benefits, the accused said he was given drugs free by a dealer.

“That’s a lie you made up,” Ms Lind said.

The accused denied it was a lie and said, “I’m a thief. Just because I’m a thief doesn’t mean I’m a rapist.”

The man also denied he had told one of the alleged victims that he “liked to see fear in people’s faces when they can’t do anything”.

He said he had “never forced anyone” to give him oral sex, but agreed that when it came to prostitutes he would call “some of them sl*ts”.

He denied biting the wrist of one of his alleged victims but agreed he became paranoid on drugs about cops, his “enemies”.

“I look paranoid, I act paranoid. Sometimes I won’t go home because my Mum will know I’m on drugs,” he told the court.

The trial before Judge Deborah Sweeney continues at the Downing Centre in Sydney.
