A jury has found a married couple guilty of having sexually assaulted a teenage girl after they gave her cannabis and alcohol at a house party.
Christopher Luke Hili and Lee Kathleen Hili had pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape, one count of exposing a child to an indecent act and one of exposing a child to an indecent film.The jury returned its verdicts today after deliberating for about two hours following a five-day trial and found both defendants guilty on all counts.Christopher Hili looked back at a supporter in the public gallery.
Crown prosecutor Melissa Wilson said two 15-year-old girls had attended an evening party at the Hilis' 12-hectare property in the Gold Coast region in December 2021.She said the girls also consumed alcohol, causing one of them to vomit and be taken downstairs to lie down.Wilson said Lee Hili started asking "inappropriate" questions about one of the girl's sexual preferences and experience while her friend was downstairs.
The girl said she passed out when Christopher Hili started touching her and then woke up naked while he sexually assaulted her as Lee Hili stroked her hair.
