Jacques “Porkchop” Rouschop has waited almost three years to defend himself against rape-and-choking charges, and starting Thursday morning, an Ottawa jury will start hearing defence evidence — including the “remarkably small” size of his penis — that he hopes will finally clear his name.

Rouschop, 44, is on trial for the 2013 rape and choking of two Vanier women who prostituted themselves to feed severe crack and fentanyl addictions. They have both testified against Rouschop, telling the jury horrifying accounts of being choked to the point of unconsciousness in the backseat of his pickup truck.

Both women told the jury that they are now clean, one for six months, after saying they kicked the habit on their own.

One woman revealed on the stand that she didn’t think she was raped. The other woman testified that she was raped by Rouschop, a longtime client who she said suddenly lost control. She told court she doesn’t recall the date or where they were parked and the details of her account have changed.
