The son of motor racing champion Sir Jack Brabham raped a six-year-old girl as she sat on his lap in a car, a court has heard.
Gary Thomas Brabham, 54, the second-born son of Sir Jack is accused of one count of rape and six of indecent treatment of the girl over a four-year period between 2003 and 2007, Daily Mail reports.
Brisbane’s District Court heard he sexually assaulted the girl while she was sat on his lap, wearing shorts as he drove a car to drop off some wheelie bins at a home.
“While doing that he started to play with the strings on her shorts,” Crown prosecutor John Hanna told the court.
He then went on to sexually assault her.
The jury also listened to a recorded police interview that detailed the alleged sexual assaults.
The trial is expected to last two days.
