The man, who has interim name suppression, was in the Dunedin District Court yesterday for the final day of his jury trial.
He denies two charges of indecent assault, sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and assaulting a female.
The court heard that on September 3, 2022, the defendant and others had been hiking in Westland National Park when the alleged assaults happened.
In his closing statement, crown prosecutor Craig Power told the jury they should believe the complainants' credible version of events.
He reminded the jury that one woman said she awoke to the defendant groping her over her sleeping bag, although she said it did not upset her.
"The issue here is whether he indecently assaulted her, not whether or not she was bothered by it," Mr Power said.
The other complainant was allegedly chased by the defendant before being grabbed, pinned against a wall and forcefully kissed.
After that he allegedly violated her with his fingers, leaving her with an internal injury that bled for days afterwards.
The defendant said he kissed the woman with her consent but any claims of violation were false.
Mr Power reminded the jury the doctor who examined the woman believed her injury was consistent with her version of events.
He said it was "not an unlikely coincidence" there were similar allegations from two women.
The defendant's evidence was not reliable and the jury should believe the complainants and find him guilty on all charges, Mr Power argued.
"It started with a kiss," counsel Sarah Saunderson-Warner began her closing statement.
"[The defendant] never thought it would come to this, the 11 of you considering his fate in the Dunedin District Court."
Ms Saunderson-Warner reminded the jury her client denied touching the woman in her sleep and only kissed the other woman consensually.
She argued the defendant's recollection of events was "pretty good" despite other witnesses saying he was highly intoxicated.
While the defendant did not know the woman well there was "no requirement for physical touch before people kiss", Ms Saunderson-Warner said.
She reminded the jury her client did not have to give evidence or prove his innocence.
"He told you truthfully what had happened," she said.
She said the second complainant told "an evolving story", parts of which were at odds with her initial response on the night.
She warned the jury about the doctor's evidence, because she did not specialise in sexual assault and could not see where the blood was coming from.
"You've heard from [the defendant] that he didn't do it. You should believe him and the only safe verdicts are not guilty on all charges," she said.
