Four-day sexual assault trial ends

An international cricketer pursued a Tinder date “relentlessly” with the night turning out “very differently to what the woman expected or wanted”, while his lawyers have told a court the woman’s evidence is “demonstrably unreliable”.International cricket star Danushka Gunathilaka has stood trial at the Downing Centre District Court for the past four days after pleading not guilty to one charge of sexual assault without consent.

The charge relates to an incident on 2 November last year when it is alleged the 32-year-old removed a condom while having sex – known as stealthing – with a woman at her home in Sydney’s east.

The pair first met at the Opera Bar near the Sydney Opera House, where CCTV footage shows them embracing, before having drinks together in the city and heading back to the woman’s home via ferry.

The judge-alone trial has ended after both sides made their closing arguments on Thursday.

Judge Huggett will deliver her judgment on 28 September. – (news.com.au)
