She claimed that she couldn't sleep and that the next morning she felt sick.
The second incident, she said, was in a different location.
And after going to get something in another room, she was followed by the defendant, who she said pulled her top up and felt her breasts.
On that occasion, she alleges that Eleanor Donaldson came to the door and looked into the room and then walked away, closing the door behind her.
and then that there was an allegation of an apology.
It's claimed that as a teenager, Witness B became involved in drugs and was sent to a Christian rehabilitation centre sometime in the mid-90s, and that she became friends with a woman there who she had told that she had been sexually abused.
A meeting was later set up between the Witness and Mr Donaldson by people at the church, and bear in mind these are all allegations at this stage.
And Witness B said that it was a bit weird and that at the meeting Mr Donaldson had told her he wanted to apologise for what had happened in the past.
So she then turned to the evidence of Witness A and Miss Walsh said that Witness A's ABC was taken in March 2024.
She told police on occasions when she was much younger she had felt sensations in her private area.
She told jurors she remembered an incident where Geoffrey Donaldson had rubbed under her sports bra and the touching her in this way she said was a very casual thing and would happen quite often.
She also recalled an occasion when she was 12 or 13 which she said Geoffrey Donaldson asked for a kiss and put his tongue in her mouth.
She said that she had told this to Eleanor Donaldson, who allegedly laughed it off.
Witness A said that then she went to university and it was around this time that she became aware that what had happened to her was wrong and not normal.
And then she says to police that when she met her husband, she told him and that was the first person she had ever really told about the alleged abuse.
Witness A said she then sent a letter to the two defendants about the secret she had to keep and the inappropriate sexual behaviour.
Witness A said she also reached out to a minister in her church and later spoke to a police officer about the criminal justice system in general but made no specific complaint at that time.
And then Witness A and Witness B made formal complaints in March 2024, around March the 7th and 8th.
And Geoffrey and Eleanor Donaldson were then arrested March the 28th
and subject to a number of interviews.
