The accused, 54, has maintained his innocence to 16 charges, ranging from acts of indecency to rape, which have been brought against him.
A trial in the ACT Supreme Court entered its second day on Wednesday.
All of the alleged offences related to the young girl, who was aged nine and 10 at the time.
Police charged the man after the girl's mother walked in on him as he watched a porn film on his computer with the victim in his lap.
The alleged abuse took place after the man began a relationship with the girl's mother and moved into their southern Canberra home.
In a pre-recorded police interview played in court, the girl said she first felt uncomfortable when the accused allegedly pulled down his pants and exposed his penis to her a few weeks after he moved in.
The next day, he allegedly showed her a porn video and said: "I imagine us doing that."
The court heard the victim replied: "I'm only a little girl, you would hurt me."
Over a period of more than a year, the man showed her pornographic videos and images "probably every single day" when her mother was out, asleep, or on the toilet, the girl said.
The court heard the man would visit porn websites to show her videos of sensual massage or blow jobs, or he would type "teen nude" into a search engine to look at images.
Afterwards, he would allegedly click "clear search history" on his computer's settings.
The girl said the man had also tried to slide his hand under her pyjamas one night as they watched a movie in her mother's bed.
Another time, the girl said the man left her in the car for a few minutes while he went into an adult store in Fyshwick.
He came out with a paper bag and told the girl: "I've got a nice present for you."
He then pulled a gold vibrator out of the bag and explained to the girl how it was used, the court heard.
When the pair returned home, the accused allegedly told the girl she could take the vibrator and put it in her room, but she refused.
"I don't need to play with this like you do," she said.
When police asked how she felt when the accused had shown her porn videos and touched her, the girl told them she felt "exposed".
"I felt older than I should be, or than I used to, and I felt like I wanted my mum," she said.
"I felt like older people should be watching it and not me."
The trial continues before Justice Richard Refshauge.
