AUSTRALIA- BRISBANE- A former prostitute has told how she and a friend were tied up and raped by three men on the Gold Coast almost 30 years ago.


The cold case trial began in Brisbane District Court today where Reginald Stephen Brown, 60, pleaded not guilty to being behind the brutal rape and attack on two young sex workers, who he allegedly picked up from Surfers Paradise in December 1981.

The court was told two prostitutes, aged 20 and 21, were hitch hiking when they got into a car with Mr Brown and were taken to a Miami apartment. There, he and two other men took turns to rape them, the jury was told.

One of the former prostitutes this afternoon gave evidence that she and her friend were tied to each other and "spread-eagled" with ropes tied to a bed during some of the attacks.

"They said they might keep us there for two weeks," she said. "The whole night felt like forever."

She said at one point during the night, Mr Brown stabbed a dressing table with a kitchen knife while saying he "wished his mother could see him now".

The woman said she tried to convince Mr Brown to let her and her friend go, saying they were "working girls" and would not go to police as their story would not be believed.

She said after some time she and her friend were blindfolded and bundled into a car.

"We thought we were going to get buried," she said.

She said the pair were dropped back to their rented beachside apartment and immediately reported the matter to police. They left the Gold Coast two weeks later.

In his opening to the jury, Crown prosecutor Chris Minnery said progress in the case was slow until Mr Brown was arrested years after the incident following a fingerprint match.

Mr Brown has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of rape, two counts of deprivation of liberty, two counts of indecent assault and one count each of assault and stealing.

The trial, before Judge Leanne Clare SC, has been listed to continue for five days.
