The former boyfriend of a woman who accused Christian Porter of raping her when the pair were teenagers has made a formal statement to police.
Macquarie Group senior managing director James Hooke met detectives twice before making a formal statement to NSW Police on March 17 and 22.
Mr Porter is accused of raping a 16-year-old member of his debating team during a trip to Sydney in 1988 - which he vehemently denies.
Mr Hooke was a friend to both Mr Porter and the woman for 30 years and went public in March saying he had previously spoken to her about the allegations.
