Crown prosecutor Melissa Wilson later told the jury the alleged victim had no knowledge of the alleged demand for money.
The girl had testified that she had woken up in the couple’s bed while being sexually assaulted by Christopher Hili while Lee Hili stroked her hair and told her to be quiet.
She said she was later sexually assaulted by Lee Hili while a pornographic movie was playing on a nearby TV.
Defence barrister Gregory McGuire asked Lee Hili if she had sexually assaulted the girl or had been present while she was being assaulted.
“Absolutely not,” Lee Hili said.
She told the court she had just tried to calm the girl down after finding her in the couple’s bedroom and suffering from a panic attack.
Under cross-examination by Wilson, Lee Hili denied asking the girl about her sexual preferences and experience prior to the alleged assaults.
Lee Hili agreed Christopher Hili had smoked cannabis but said he did not have any on the night in question and did not supply it to the girl.
Wilson asked Lee Hili about images from their home security camera showing Christopher Hili outside their bedroom while naked about 2.50am after the party.
Lee Hili said her husband left the room to have a smoke and urinate outside, as they were on a large block of land far from neighbours.
“This was after the rape?” Wilson said.
Lee Hili said “no”.
The jury was due to hear a closing statement on Friday from Christopher Hili’s barrister Scott Lynch.
