The teenager, who cannot be named due to his age, denies raping and murdering Alesha MacPhail, as well as charges of child abduction and defeating the ends of justice at Glasgow High Court.
He claims the semen was 'planted' with a condom, and the court heard from an expert today that this was 'possible'.
Forensic scientist Stuart Bailey said he was employed to examine the girl's remains for DNA, and look for evidence in the area where she was found.
Later during the hearing, Alesha's father walked out of court as the teen accused of killing his daughter claimed to have been having sex with his girlfriend 'once or twice a week'.
The 16-year-old boy took to the witness stand to claim he had a 'friends with benefits' relationship with Toni McLachlan, 18, which Mr MacPhail knew nothing about.
The accused said he was having regular sexual relations with Ms McLachlin near the end of 2017, and that the night of the alleged abduction they had sex in a garage.
Robert MacPhail walked out of the courtroom at the High Court in Glasgow when the allegations were made.
Alesha was reported missing by her grandmother at 6.23am on July 2, and her body was found at the site of an abandoned hotel just before 9am.
