The man accused of violently raping a woman in a Whitehorse trail two years ago says the sex was consensual and was given in exchange for drugs.

Douglas Hockley testified in his own defence in front of Yukon Supreme Court Justice Ron Veale on Friday. The judge has reserved his decision on the case.

The 25-year-old Whitehorse man told the court that on the night of Sept. 30, 2007 he was walking to a friend's house in Riverdale when he heard a woman banging and shouting at the door of #3 Alsek Rd.

When the woman spotted him, Hockley said, she came down to the street and asked for a cigarette.

Hockley said he offered her a drink from the bottle of whiskey he was carrying and they started chatting. After talking for a while, Hockley said he asked the woman if she wanted to smoke some crack.

Hockley admitted to the court that he sells crack cocaine, as well as speed, Ecstasy and ketamine.

The Whitehorse-born man began using and dealing hard drugs when he lived in Ottawa, he said, and brought several thousands of dollars' worth of drugs with him when he moved back to Whitehorse in the fall of 2007.

Hockley said he offered to give the woman a "20-piece” – approximately a quarter-gram – in return for oral sex.

The woman declined, according to Hockley, so he upped the ante. He offered her an "eight-ball” – 3 1/2 grams – if she would let him have anal sex with her.

The woman accepted this offer, Hockley said, but wanted to move from where they were in the wooded area behind Selkirk Elementary School to a trail which runs between 3 and 5 Alsek Rd.

During cross-examination, Crown prosecutor Eric Marcoux questioned Hockley about why the woman would want to go from the secluded spot behind Selkirk to a trail right next to the house she had been at just minutes before. Hockley said he didn't know.

Once the agreement was made, the two smoked some crack, Hockley using his own glass pipe and the woman using a beer can which Hockley turned into a pipe, he told the court.

The woman's DNA was later found on the mouth of the beer can, although the woman denied smoking any drugs with Hockley but said she may have drunk from the can.

While they were smoking, Hockley said, he asked the woman if she had any sexually transmitted infections.

"I was quite intent on walking to my buddy's house and getting a condom,” he told the court. "But she assured me she was clean.”

The woman dropped her pants, said Hockley, and they had sex.

"While we were having sex, at no time did she tell me she was in pain or she didn't want to have sex,” Hockley said.

Once he was finished, "I went straight back to my crack pipe,” Hockley said, and the woman said she wanted another hit.

"When I told her enough was enough, there was no more crack for her ... she became aggressive and belligerent,” Hockley said. The two began arguing, he said, and the woman threatened first to get her boyfriend, then told him she had AIDS.

"Due to the fact she said that, I lost my temper,” Hockley said.

"I hit her, I hit her good .... I put my fist together, I wound up and I hit her.”

The woman dropped to the ground, Hockley said. "I walked around her, I grabbed my backpack and I walked casually away.”

He returned to what he called "the underground crack house” on Fifth Avenue at Jarvis Street and spent the rest of the night smoking and selling drugs.

Hockley's version of events stand in stark contrast to both what the woman said happened and what Hockley first told Whitehorse RCMP when he was arrested.

The woman said Hockley approached her on the trail and offered her a cigarette, then some crack. The woman said she watched Hockley smoke then turned to leave, but was pushed down from behind and raped.

Hockley's DNA was later found inside the woman.

A retired nurse who was babysitting at 5 Alsek Rd. that night found the woman crawling up the front steps, bleeding from her face and screaming that she had been raped.

When Hockley was questioned about the event, he told police and a psychiatrist that he could not remember what happened that night. He told the doctor that demons controlled him and told him to lie.

When he took the stand last week, Hockley said he lied when he said he couldn't remember.

"I was protecting the information I had because people close to me told me to keep quiet,” he said.

In her statement, the woman said Hockley was wearing a black cap when she met him.

Hockley insisted he doesn't even own a black cap, but changed his tune when he was shown a photograph of the black hat he was wearing when he was arrested in November 2007.

Hockley was first charged with breaking into a neighbour's house and violently raping her in late October. His DNA then connected him to the incident in Riverdale.

Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to attacking his neighbour but has not yet been sentenced. He remains in custody.
