In a twist that will sicken readers, a Brisbane man forced a woman into his home, raped her and demanded a massage before freeing her, a court has been told.

Abdullah Turky Serhan, 52, appeared in the Brisbane District Court on Monday charged with rape.

The victim had been chatting on a mobile phone while walking past Serhan's house in Stafford, northern Brisbane, on January 5 early last year, Crown Prosecutor David Finch informed the courts that Serhan invited her in, telling her she could use his phone instead of her mobile.

After she refused, he "man-handled her" and forced her inside the house and into a bedroom.

Mr Finch said Serhan then removed her clothes and raped her but before releasing her, he demanded she "give him a massage." When he let her go, she ran to a nearby police station.

Crown prosecutor David Finch outlined that Serhan's DNA was found on a swab taken from the victim.

He further told the jury they would hear evidence from a neighbour who saw the woman walking near parkland behind Serhan's house on the day she was allegedly raped.

"He also saw Mr Serhan leave his home and begin to walk towards her," Mr Finch said.

"That's all he saw."

Monday will be the first of the four-day trial.
