Callum Buczak and Alexandra McDonough deny following rape accusers

The 29-year-old elite rider Callum Buczak and his 30-year-old girlfriend, Alexandra McDonough, are accused of stalking and harassing the woman after being suspected of rape.

Mr. Buczak allegedly followed the woman from February 28 to December 6 last year and “encouraged” his girlfriend to track her online activities.

On Monday, the couple went to trial in Melbourne Magistrates Court.

The equestrian’s lawyer Damian Sheales told the court that after he “stopped her”, the woman had a “revenge” with his client.

“We said it was a vendetta — it was just revenge,” Mr. Sheales told the court.

The barrister told the court that the allegations of harassment and stalking were part of the “calculated” part of her “retaliation.”

He said that the alleged victim tried to “manipulate” the actions of the police and other agencies (including the media).

The court learned that the woman’s father called the Australian Equestrian Association after his daughter was told not to participate in the competitions Mr. Buczak participated in because he would be “uncomfortable”.

“I was led to believe that if my daughter was there, he would feel uncomfortable,” the father told the court.

On Monday, the father was asked about the “motivation” behind the call and whether he threatened to tell the media that they were “on the side of the rapist.”

“The whole point of this is to damage (Mr Buzak) and any chance he has to join the Australian team,” Mr Sheales said.

But his father denied this statement.

The trial for alleged rape of Mr. Buczak has begun, and he has denied all charges against him. He has pleaded not guilty.

Court documents allege that the rider’s 30-year-old partner Alexandra McDonald was accused of using Instagram to track her boyfriend’s plaintiff to track online activity and send it to Mr. Buzak.

Delivery will resume on Tuesday.
