A woman who was drugged and sexually assaulted by her flatmate was called a s**t in court by her attacker's girlfriend on Monday.
The woman's flatmate had put the drug GHB, known as fantasy, in her drink when they had shared a bottle of wine and some vodka in August 2016.
The woman became unconscious and woke up to the 34-year-old flatmate kissing her and her pants had been removed, the court heard according to The Gold Coast Bulletin.
Toxicology tests showed there was GHB in her urine but she had never knowingly taken the drug.
The man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, had moved into the unit just two weeks before the incident.
The now 37-year-old appeared in Southport District Court on Monday and plead guilty to one count of administering a drug for the purpose of sexual assault and sexual assault.
He was sentenced to two years prison, suspended after six months.
At the conclusion of proceedings the man's girlfriend walked passed the victim, who had been crying, and reportedly said s**t.
She then followed that up by telling the woman: 'I am going to get you, you dog'.
The defence barrister for the man said he was fully clothed during the assault and had undergone counselling since the incident.
He also said the man's motivation was to make the woman more easily persuaded rather than to render her unconscious.
When delivering the sentence, Judge Catherine Muir, however, said the attack was a serious breach of trust by the man who the woman had allowed to live in her unit.
