Brett Stewart's pants were undone and his "old guy" was
visible when a father confronted the Manly rugby league star
about sex assault claims, a court has been told.
The father told police his 17-year-old daughter had pointed
to a man in a suit, whom she said had just "hurt her".
He said he confronted the man, who denied touching his
daughter, and pointed to a nearby townhouse where he said he
lived and from where a woman came out.
"She looked towards his crotch and said `why are your pants
undone?' and pointed at his crotch," the father said.
The father told police the man was clearly drunk and he
noticed the man's belt was open and his fly was undone.
"I could clearly see his old guy," he said, later describing
what he saw as the top of the man's penis, still inside his
pants.
The statements were included in the prosecution brief of
evidence tendered at Stewart's committal hearing on Thursday
at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court.
Stewart, 24, is charged with having sexual intercourse,
involving digital penetration, with the girl without her
consent on the evening of March 6, 2009 at North Manly.
The full-back also is charged with assault with an act of
indecency, namely that he "forced his tongue into her mouth".
Last April, Stewart's lawyer formally entered pleas of not
guilty.
In her tendered statement, the girl said she was outside the
Manly townhouse complex when a man pulled up in a taxi.
He asked her what she was doing and when she replied having a
cigarette, he said "yuck".
The teenager said she could see he was drunk.
She said the man leant towards her face and "before I had
time to move or react he put his tongue in my mouth".
She pushed him in the chest, he again put his tongue in her
mouth and she again pushed him, the teenager told police.
The man immediately then put one of his hands under her
shorts and knickers and placed at least one finger in her
vagina, she said.
She managed to push him off and ran to tell her father, as
she "started to cry and shake".
