An accused rapist allegedly forced his long-term partner to urinate in the backyard "like a dog" and not shower during a protracted period of sexual assault, a court has heard.
"He was pretty much just treating me like a piece of meat for three days," the woman said in an interview with police.
The man, who is not named to protect the alleged victim's identity, on Monday faced the ACT Supreme Court for the first day of his jury trial.
