A woman claims a high-profile Sydney man told her he “didn’t mean” to when he allegedly raped her and then told her that other women had “accused him of the same,” a court has heard.

“I said he didn’t get to decide it if was rape or not,” the woman, known as complainant three, told the court. “He apologised and he said that he loved me and that he didn’t mean to rape me.”
