Baden-Clay said he was still having an “on again, off again” affair with Toni McHugh at the time.
He said he attended a conference in Sydney when he had a liaison with another woman, Jacqui Crane.
“I was going to a conference in Sydney for the weekend and the relationship that I’d had with another woman previously, who was also attending that conference, we got together for a physical relationship on that weekend,” he said.
“That was the only time, we actually, we actually had sex.”
Baden-Clay said his partners became aware of his relationship with Ms McHugh.
“I think it was Jocelyn (Frost) initially who suspected something and she spoke to Toni who denied it. I think she spoke to Phil as well and at some point it was acknowledged,” he said.
The accused said his partners relayed a conversation he had with them about Ms McHugh, back to her.
“During that conversation the issue of Toni was raised and the relationship we had had and, I admitted to them that there were occasions when I was effectively sleeping with Toni for the sake of the business which I didn’t want her to leave the business and I didn’t want her to cause any dramas should the relationship end,” he said.
He said it got back to Ms McHugh.
“She was quite justifiably very unhappy about that and I think at that time we were, the affair, was in some sort of a hiatus, but we got back together because, for the sake of the business,” he said.
Baden-Clay said not long after he received a phone call from his wife, asking to meet him.
“I was at the office and Al called on the mobile,” he said, his voice breaking.
“She just said `we’ve got to talk’ and I sensed straight away what it was about. So I suggested that we meet at the Indooroopilly McDonalds which was just not far from our office.”
Baden-Clay said he met his wife in the car park.
