Douglas Ross of Otahuhu, New Zealand and Stella Teha Pia are standing trial on the charge of aggravate rape, a charge under section 347 of the Criminal Code Act.
They appeared before Justice Panuel Mogish this morning where the allegations against them were read in court.
Both Ross and Pia pleaded not guilty to the allegations which saw the trial commence.
It is the State’s allegation that they sexually assaulted a Joselyn Pakure between August 1 and 2, 2015 at their home at Boroko after they invited her and other friends over for a gathering that night.
