Accused rapist Ben Kooy arrives at Burwood Local court. Ben Kooy, 34, was charged with sexual intercourse without consent Charges dropped this morning after second court appearance He spent four nights in jail 'Situation has changed dramatically': Lawyer THE man accused of raping a teenage girl in a train station disabled toilet has had the charge against him dropped. Ben Kooy, 34, appeared twice at Burwood Local Court today, with a charge of sexual intercourse without consent formally dropped during his second appearance. In a dramatic turn of events, after being accused of raping the 17-year-old at Strathfield station on Wednesday afternoon, Kooy was freed with no bail conditions on Sunday due to a change in the police's case. Today police formally dropped the charge and also withdrew an apprehended violence order. Outside court Kooy said he was relieved and the past few days had been stressful. "I am just glad it's over," he said. Kooy spent four nights behind bars after being refused bail at his first appearance on Thursday which he described on Sunday as being "awful." As he entered the courthouse with his father earlier this morning, Kooy said he wasn't sure what was due to happen. A little nervous I suppose. I am going to speak to my solicitor and see what happens," he said. Kooy appeared in a blue business shirt and was still sporting a gash across his nose. During his first appearance, no mention was made of the charge being dropped, with the prosecution telling the court the Director of Public Prosecution needed three further weeks to prepare their case. Magistrate Chris Longley said it was still an indictable offence. After being told there had been a change to the police case, Mr Longley said Kooy should have applied for bail earlier "if all that was in the way was an AVO." Legal aid lawyer Patricia Lyden responded by saying the "situation had changed dramatically."
