A second woman has described rape-accused Joshua Allan Schooner as having a "split personality" during a sexual encounter a month after he allegedly attacked a woman at his house.



Schooner, 26, is on trial in the Christchurch District Court. He denies charges of abduction, rape, and sexual violation of a woman in her 30s, who went to his Phillipstown home after being stranded in a pub car park in June 2011.



A 44-year-old woman gave evidence today that Schooner had also raped her, though he is not charged over her allegation.



She had met Schooner twice before they exchanged numbers and started contact and he "seemed like a nice guy".



She had invited him for dinner, during which they talked, and everything was all right.



They began kissing and touching, and then, "it was like a twig snapping", she said.



Schooner had gone from being a nice, normal, caring guy, to being very aggressive.



"The next minute it was like he was an animal, literally.



"It was literally like a split personality - he just changed."



She said he grabbed her and had anal intercourse with her while she protested.



Schooner was very apologetic afterwards and showered to clean himself.



She had had sex with him again the next morning because she was scared.



She was examined by a doctor afterwards, and later made a complaint to the police.



She told the court she was injured from the sexual encounter.



Cross-examined by defence counsel Michael Knowles, she acknowledged that she had withdrawn her complaint to the police a few days after the incident.



She admitted that in Auckland in 1988 she had been prosecuted for making a false complaint of rape.



"I was an attention-seeking 19-year-old," she said.



Knowles replied: "And now you are an attention-seeking adult."



She denied that.



Questioned further by Crown prosecutor Deirdre Elsmore, she said she had withdrawn her rape complaint because she had been pressured by an unrelated third party not to give evidence.



Both women referred to Schooner having a "split personality" and becoming suddenly aggressive before they were allegedly attacked.



Knowles opened the defence case by saying that the defence was simply that the sexual acts had taken place and they had been consensual.



Schooner would give evidence that everything that took place with the woman in her 30s was done willingly.



Things had turned sour after he found the woman going through his drawers.



The trial is expected to finish on Thursday.
