not in a good mental state and was sleeping homeless in a forest area outside of the clinic. I was
talking to a few people on facebook about my situation and why I did not want to go home. I told my
whereabouts to a stranger who had seemed fairly supportive and said he helped people with autism.
I woke up in the middle of that night to this man forcing himself inside me. I did not consent to this
at any time. After that event the next day and for months afterwards he told me he 'knew I wanted
sex with him that night even though I hadn't said so..." He also made comments stating that sex was
a biological urge that men cannot control. He paid for me to go to Sydney with him and as I had been
living homeless at that point, I went with him and stayed at his home address of 273 Fowler road,
Guildford Sydney.

I stayed there for nine months. During that time he would often have sex with me or physically use
his body to push down against mine regardless of whehter I said no or tried to stop this occuring. At
times he would say things that made me very uncomfortable. He expressed wishes to confront a
counselor he said he had a brief fling with. He said he wished he could confront her down a dark
alleyway one day when she was by herself. He would also regularly talk about fights he had been in
or people he wished harm to. He would often mention his brother had been to jail for assault and
that he himself used to often get into many physical fights with others. At one point during this
relationship he physically kicked me in the ribs and I was too sore to walk for approximately a week.
He claimed this to be an accident. At other times he would often raise his voice or lose his temper.
After these events he would then become very friendly and tell me these things (including men
wanting to have sex whenever they had an urge) were normal in a relationship. When I attended an
autism group I found out people had already heard of me because he had been spreading malicious
and confidential information about my mental health history and some of my personal issues to
others.

Since I met him, he had told me to tell other people that him and I had known each other and had
been talking for years. This was not actually true, but if he said this in front of others I did not correct
him. The first time we had ever met was in that forest outside of Currumbin. While I was staying at
his place, he left to spend time with his brothers and had left his computer on. A message popped up
on his facebook screen and I looked up because it was left open. The messages were from someone
named Amelia where she asked him why he was trying to have sex with her. His response had been:
We weren't having sex. We were just rubbing. She said "I asked you to stop" And he said "No you
didn't. Hows your psychiatrist going?" She replied with "Yes I told you to stop".

I had been speaking to a lady I was seeing named Nicole (who was aware of the situation) and trying
to encourage me to go to police. I did so on one of the occasions. A police officer from Fairfield
police station in Sydney drove me to a sexual assault clinic. One police officer I spoke to was
encouraging me to take an order out prohibiting contact, however when I heard I would have to be
present in a courtroom with him there I backed out of this idea entirely. I was very socially isolated
at this time and id not have friends or family so I did not go through with doing any of this.

I blocked his facebook account, yet he made another account indicating awareness that I had
blocked him. I have blocked three accounts belonging to him. I believe this person may attempt to
contact or locate me and may well intend physical or sexual harm. I do not want ot have anything to
do with this individual at any time in the future nor for him to have any way of contacting me. He
does, to the best of my knowledge, currently live in Sydney however I also know that he has
previously visited Brisbane and has mentioned wanting to come here to live or visit several times. I
believe he will harm me or attempt to force me to do things I do nto want to do if he knows where I
am. I want to take out an order prohibiting any kind of contact for the longest time possible. I have
written this down rather than verbally communicate this in the courtroom because I have Aspergers
and severe social anxiety and find this an easier way for me to communicate.
