The woman was giving evidence in a committal hearing against Ashley Wallace, 19, now living in Bendigo.

Wallace pleaded not guilty to five charges including rape and sexual penetration of a child under 16 years.

The court was told the woman’s daughter was 14-years-old and Wallace was aged 18 when the first of the alleged offences occurred.

Friends of the accused alerted the mother with a phone text message saying: “Ash Wallace is having sex with your daughter right now.”

“She’s not old enough to make judgements ... she said she didn’t know what she was doing,” the woman said.

Magistrate Michael Coghlan told the woman to not make accusations in the court but simply answer questions put to her.

Mr Coghlan later committed Wallace, who is on bail, to stand trial with a directions hearing in Melbourne County Court on September 15.

The court heard the first of several alleged offences occurred on November 3, 2008 when Wallace was 18 and another when he had turned 19.

The first offences were allegedly committed during the day when the pair had met near Jaycee Park and were taken in a car driven by a friend of Wallace further along the riverside to bushland.

The girl’s mother said she received the text message about 1pm that afternoon and immediately tried to call her daughter.

She said she later confronted her daughter and they had an “hysterical screaming match in her bedroom” about what had happened.
