A jury is expected to begin deliberations in the case of a former top executive accused of raping a Norwegian backpacker in far north Queensland.
The District Court in Cairns has heard Alan George Vico was a senior executive of Ports North — a Queensland government-owned corporation — when he allegedly picked up a young woman as she walked along a busy road, took her to a motel in the Cairns suburb of Earlville and raped her in September 2018.
