A former fiancée of Casey Anthony, said today that the woman's brother of Florida once took it while she was asleep and she wanted to keep her daughter Caylee away from him.
Jesse Grund testified at the trial without jury in Casey Anthony murder room. Judge Belvin Perry will decide Wednesday whether the evidence is admissible.
If his testimony is allowed, it could help the defence claims that Casey Anthony has suffered sexual abuse at the hands of his brother and his father. Casey Anthony, 25, is accused of murderinig daughter Caylee and facing the death penalty if convicted.
His father, George Anthony, denied charges of abuse. Lee Anthony never was asked directly by the Crown or the defence if he has abused his sister.
An another former boyfriend of Casey Anthony, Tony Lazzaro, has already testified Florida woman said her father was physically abusive and Lee Anthony had attempted to "feel his", but did not succeed.
Who's who in the trial of the case of Anthony
Today, Jesse Grund, which at one time was engaged to Casey and thought he was the father of Caylee, said Lee Anthony as "standoffish" and "sullen" around him.
"She told me that at a time over the past years she has awakened one night with Lee standing on it,"Grund said."" He also said that Casey Anthony told him she woke again to Lee Anthony groping him.
"Everything that said Casey I taken as truth and fact...".I wanted nothing to do with him, "said Grund.
Casey Anthony appeared emotional, but not to cry as Grund spoke. Lee Anthony testified earlier in the day, but did not abuse. He has testified on his anger to the fact that his family did not invite to the birth of the Caylee.
The Defense seems to try to find ways to strengthen their theory without Casey Anthony, taking the stand. The defence argues that 2 years Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool and George Anthony helped dispose of the body. They argue that Casey Anthony cache death of her daughter in a bizarre adaptation mechanism she learned years of sexual abuse on the part of his father and brother.
The defence said today that they have about six witnesses, even call. The judge noted the defence only if Anthony testify, it will have to confirm that this is his decision not to do so.
"The conclusion that the defence is based and if the defendant does not testify, I investigate... If it's his decision and his alone," said Perry.
Without the jury present, the judge also heard testimony of two corrections of Orange County who described Anthony as a model prisoner who is always enjoyable despite living in a cell 23 hours a day 6-by-8 feet.
"His behaviour has never changed." It was the same person. It is constant as a bee. It is never upwards or downwards, said Sergeant Dennis Moonsammy.
The judge found that the evidence concerning the behaviour of Anthony as a detainee was inadmissible.
Earlier in the day, the Defense focused on the discovery of the remains of the Caylee per metre drive Roy Kronk. Kronk said at the time that he discovered the skull of Caylee on December 11, 2008.
"I was behind it so I was looking for it by behind." I still thought it was real gently, I took [counter drive stick] and put it in the right eye support...It was something really horrific for me of course, "said Kronk.

The toddler was found in a wooded area off the coast of Suburban Drive near the family home of Anthony. With the remains of the toddler were tape coverage of Winnie the Pooh, canvas bags, black plastic garbage bags and a bottle of Gatorade with a syringe.
Casey Anthony defense team put Kronk on the stand in the hope to prove to the jury a key point of their theory of defence that Kronk moved the body and tampered with the remains of the toddler in the hope of collecting a reward.
Kronk gave testimony which was sometimes confusing. He appeared to be in conflict with previous statements, that he gave to prosecutors and law enforcement. At one point, Kronk denied ever picking up the skull or a bag that was with the remains, but later, he said he has picked up the bag, he struck three times and eventually the skull at his feet.
