A 60-year-old car wash manager has denied inappropriately touching and kissing his "chamois girls", claiming one of them was a liar with a criminal record.
James William Rao is on trial in Perth District Court on five charges of fondling and trying to kiss two women, who were 16 years old at the time and working at his Edgewater car wash in 2009.
He has pleaded not guilty and denied further allegations that he forced one of the women to give him oral sex at his Joondalup rental home while holding her against her will.
The jury was today shown video footage of Mr Rao's police interview in which he denied any untoward behaviour to three of his employees, including the two current accusers.
