The woman told the court on Monday that Geason left her in tears on several occasions during their brief relationship.

The court heard the alleged abuse first began while the pair were on holiday in Dubrovnik, Croatia, last year.

The woman claimed the alleged incidents often occurred after Geason had consumed white wine, the ABC reported.

The judge has pleaded not guilty to one count of common assault and one count of emotional abuse charges filed in late 2023.

His defence team is contesting the accusations and denying any recurring misconduct, the ABC reported.

Deputy Chief Magistrate of Victoria Susan Wakeling is overseeing the proceedings to prevent any potential conflicts of interest with Tasmanian judges.
