Warning: this story contains distressing details of abuse allegations.

Two women in Victoria appeared in Perth's District Court Wednesday via video link to testify against Barry Cable, bringing the number of women who have accused him of sexual abuse in the ongoing civil case to five.

Mr Cable has not been charged and has denied the allegations by the woman who initiated the legal action. He has not attended court throughout the civil trial.

The women, who are sisters, grew up on the same street as the Cables in 1981 in Melbourne, having just moved into the neighbourhood after the Cables.

One of the women said her family and the Cables were "extremely close".

As young girls they would play with Mr Cable's sons as they were around similar ages, often kicking a football together in the street.

The sisters said Mrs Cable was often at their home and took on the role of Godmother to the sisters' youngest sibling.

The two women alleged Mr Cable exposed himself to them frequently when they were 10 and 11 years of age, and that on multiple occasions he would invite the girls over to sit in his spa, where he would hold them tightly.

They alleged he would have one hand on their breast and the other hand would be positioned between their legs.

They told the court that on at least five or six occasions he sat the girls on his lap and bounced them with his leg.

"It was extremely painful, I said to him to stop…He would laugh it off before letting me go," said one of the sisters.

Mr Cable allegedly commented on the breasts of one of the women when she was a ten-year-old girl, commenting that they looked like mosquito bites in front of his sons and her family.

The elder sister told the court she allegedly saw Mr Cable naked when he called her over to his house via a phone call, asking her to bring over some tapes. She alleged that when she arrived at the otherwise empty house Mr Cable opened the door with nothing on.

"I made every attempt to not be alone with Barry…I knew that wasn't the behaviour of an adult" she said.

The sisters made other allegations involving Mr Cable exposing himself, touching them without their consent, and making uncomfortable comments.

Both women said they were reluctant to come forward at the time because of Mr Cable's "likeable reputation" and out of fear no one would take them seriously.

"I didn't think we would be believed…Everyone loved Barry," said one of the women.

Mr Cable has not attended court and has no legal representation present.

The civil case, brought by a Western Australian woman for damages based on allegations of abuse in the late 1960s and 1970s, has now heard from five alleged victims and will resume Thursday.
