Another witness is expected to accuse legendary Australian Rules footballer Barry Cable of sexual abuse when a civil trial over damages resumes.

Two women, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have already told the Perth court the now 79-year-old sexually assaulted them when they were children.

The triple Sandover Medal winner, who is being sued by one of the women, denies the claims and is not facing criminal charges.

The second woman to accuse the famous rover of sexual abuse gave evidence on Friday to the Western Australian District Court.

She claimed the former North Melbourne player, who has not attended the hearings, inappropriately touched her in the 1980s and 90s.

“He was rubbing my breasts and he had started to move his hands down south,” she said as she detailed one of the alleged incidents.

“It’s so weird, his face changed and I had never seen him like that before.”

All told, Cable was allegedly sexually inappropriate with the woman on two occasions when she was aged between eight and 14.

She also said he offered her money to repeat the abuse on another occasion.

The woman who launched the legal action against Cable claims he started abusing her when she was about 13 in the late 1960s.

It allegedly continued through her teenage years and escalated from sexualised conversations and unwanted touching to “degrading” sexual violence and forceful intercourse.

During one incident, Cable allegedly forcibly sexually assaulted the then-teen at the Perth Football Club in 1971, where he was both captain and coach.

Cable also allegedly “relentlessly” assaulted her in his garden shed, his car and at a public swimming pool, and in his family home while his wife and children slept.

The assaults allegedly continued even when the woman became an adult and got married, with Cable accused of stalking her and coercing her to have sex on numerous occasions at her home and in hotel rooms.

Cable claimed the pair had a consensual relationship but the woman denied this and gave confronting evidence to the court for two days about the alleged emotional and physical abuse.

She also detailed the trauma and tragic consequences she has suffered, including lifelong mental and physical health issues that have impacted her marriage, relationships, education and ability to work.

Three mental health experts, who gave evidence on Friday about the severe damage Cable’s alleged assaults had caused the woman, said they had no doubt she had suffered sexual abuse.

The trial continues on Monday with evidence from the new witness.
