'I'm not saying she was asking for it but she knew what she was doing': Defence lawyer at Cork rape trial

The prosecution lawyer in a rape trial asked the jury if they thought that a woman who was beaten by four people and videotaped by a fifth person would then willingly have consensual sex with another young man.

However, the defence lawyer said the young woman went back to the Kerry B&B that night to have consensual sex with the accused and that was what they did have on two occasions. He said she lied about rape because of her anger at being physically assaulted by others.
