A senior Today show producer has been charged with allegedly raping a woman at his Bondi home after a boozy, cocaine-fuelled night out.
Tom Nicol, 32, was arrested on Tuesday night weeks after the alleged victim was taken to hospital the morning following the January 29 alleged assault.
The breakfast TV showrunner vehemently denied the charges as he faced Sydney's Waverley Local Court on Wednesday, insisting the sex was consensual.
