Marcio Patricio Figuera Dias (37) said he met the alleged victim and two of her friends on a St Helier street during the early hours after they had been on separate nights out.
Taking the stand for the first time in the Royal Court trial, Mr Dias told the jury that he and the woman were walking with their arms around each other.
Mr Dias said that shortly after getting back to the home of a friend of the alleged victim he asked her where she was going.
‘And then she said hurry up and pulled me up and I went to the top of the stairs,’ he said
He later described how the pair were kissing and that the alleged victim complimented him about his physique before they had consensual sex in a bedroom.
On Monday, the complainant told the court she was raped on the landing outside the bedroom.
Mr Dias denies one count of rape, one count of indecent assault and three counts of inciting perverting the course of justice.
