A man who had a threesome with his wife and an under-aged member of a church youth group he helped organise told police the experience ruined his marriage.

Peter Alexander Lowenstein, 31, is on trial in the Western Australia District Court, facing 23 charges relating to sexual encounters he allegedly had with a girl, initially aged 14 and who cannot be named, between March 2000 and August 2001.

His now-estranged wife, Noelene Grundy, 27, is also on trial, facing six charges relating to a single encounter in which she and Lowenstein are alleged to have both had sex with the girl in their marital bed.

The pair, then aged 27 and 23, admit to having sex together with the girl, then aged 15, whom they met in 1999 at a church youth group they helped run in Rockingham, south of Perth.

The prosecution alleges Lowenstein had sexual relations with the girl on a number of occasions before the threesome, but he denies it.

In an interview with police in October 2004, shown to the court on Wednesday, Lowenstein told how the girl had come to him and told him she might be bisexual.

According to the transcript of the interview, he directed her to go to the bedroom to speak with his wife, Noelene, who had had sexual experiences with women in the past.

"Before I knew it (the girl) was naked, Noelene was naked, I got naked, and we were all on the bed," Lowenstein said.

"I had intercourse with my wife and then (the girl) wanted intercourse as well.

"So within the moment, that happened as well."

According to the interview, Lowenstein said he did not know why he allowed the threesome to happen and "wished to christ" he had not.

"They say it's every man's fantasy, but it's not."

He said he had assumed the girl was at least 16, because she had lived out of home.

"I know you're never supposed to assume. It's the wrong thing to do," Lowenstein said.

Lowenstein said his marriage began to break down soon after the incident.

"I got scared that I would come home some time and there she would be in bed with a woman," he said in the interview.

"That and a few other things, yes, it ruined my marriage."

Lowenstein told police his accuser had hinted in the past that she wanted to have sex with him, but up until the threesome he had resisted.

"I was happily married," he said.

"I did not want to lose my house, I did not want to lose my wife."

The trial is continuing.
