Melbourne rape trial: defence says alleged victim 'could have done better' if lying

A man facing two counts of rape and one of sexual assault is on trial at Victoria's County Court in Melbourne, and has pleaded not guilty. The defence argued the alleged victim "could have done a much better job" of fabricating her account if she had been lying for financial gain. The prosecution countered that gaps and inconsistencies in her testimony actually enhance her credibility. The accused cannot be named.
