A woman has accused her former partner, whom she alleges raped her on multiple occasions, of tying her to a bed and whipping her repeatedly with a horse riding crop.
"I could feel my skin burning," the alleged 20-year-old victim told the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The accused, who is also 20 years old, has pleaded not guilty to 19 charges allegedly taking place between January and March 2022, including multiple counts of sexual intercourse without consent, choking, suffocating or strangling, and assault.
