Daniel Erin Smith, 38, is on trial at the Dunedin District Court this week, defending five charges of sexual conduct with a young person under 16 and sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection.
Crown prosecutor Craig Power alleged that on April 21 and 22, 2023, Smith indecently touched the victim multiple times.
Mr Power told the jury Smith touched the girl’s bottom and thighs and gave her what she described as "a creepy massage".
The complainant said later in the night Smith’s indecent behaviour escalated and she was confused about what he was doing.
"I just lay there because I didn’t know what to do," she said.
"I was just scared and disgusted."
The victim said Smith offered to buy her a vape if she promised to keep quiet about what he had done.
Yesterday, counsel Meg Scally argued her client never inappropriately touched the girl.
She asked the complainant: "did you make this up to get attention?"
The girl admitted difficulties she was having at school and in her personal life, but denied making anything up.
Ms Scally pointed out the girl did not tell the whole truth in her evidential interview, despite promising she would.
She did not disclose the full extent of the violation to police, and only revealed it to her mother months later.
The girl admitted she told a lie but said it was because she had not met the interviewer and felt "scared" and "confused".
Later she realised she needed to tell her mother the whole story.
Ms Scally asked the girl why she stayed with Smith after the alleged incidents and did not call her mum.
"If you were feeling uncomfortable. . . you could’ve rung mum at that point," she said.
"I didn’t ring Mum because I didn’t know what to do at the time of this happening," the witness replied.
The court heard Smith was interviewed by police and denied the offending.
Judge David Robinson is presiding over the trial which is expected to last three days.
