More women accuse convicted rapist Ralph Carr of sexual assault

Two women joined Sophie in accusing convicted rapist Ralph Carr of sexual assault.

Ralph Carr, a Melbourne talent manager, was sentenced to six years in jail in August for raping a former employee. Fresh allegations have now surfaced against him.

Two more women are accusing Carr of unwanted sexual advances. The women were in their early twenties at the time of the alleged incidents.

One woman describes being assaulted in a LA hotel suite. She says she blacked out while saying no. She has no memory of parts of the encounter.

Sophie woke the next morning in Carr's bed. Her clothes were on the floor.

Victoria Police confirmed an ongoing investigation into an alleged sexual assault in Melbourne in 2005. Carr's lawyer denied the allegations.

He said they are old and unsupported by evidence. Carr pleaded not guilty to the conviction and has filed an appeal.
