He is on trial for raping his half-sister, who has a low IQ, in 2010.
On the witness stand yesterday, the former car grooming coordinator told the court that he had been framed by his brother over money issues.
He also said he could not have committed the rape as he had drunk a lot of beer that night and would have been knocked out.
The man also blamed a police officer who took his statement for "getting the facts wrong".
Things got heated when he later shouted at the deputy public prosecutor for telling him to simply answer 'yes' or 'no' to the questions posed to him.
