A WOMAN who claims she was raped by three men after a night out at Ballarat spoke of the alleged assault on an online chat service, a jury has been told.
Bundoora student Andrew Flynn said the alleged victim contacted him via MSN Messenger the morning after the alleged attack.
Mr Flynn said the woman asked to call him on the telephone and when she did, sounded upset and was hard to understand.
As a result, the pair resumed their chat online.
Asked by Crown prosecutor David Cordy if the woman had told him she had had a sexual encounter with a number of men against her wishes, Mr Flynn replied: ''she did''.
Brothers Charles Anthony Smith, 21, of Ballarat North, and Matthew Benjamin Smith, 21, of Point Cook, and co-accused Bennet Crouch, 22, of Wendouree, have been charged with raping the woman, 20, in June last year.
The trio has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The trial continues in the County Court at Ballarat.
