Man denies rape of girl, 13, after drinks party

A MAN on trial on charges of raping a 13-year-old girl denied forcing her to perform oral sex on him. He said he would not have done so because he was self-conscious about having only one testicle.

The accused man gave evidence yesterday on the second day of his trial at the Central Criminal Court in Cork and denied raping the teenager twice in the toilet of a flat after a drinks party.

The alleged rapes occurred on a Saturday afternoon in May 2008. She made a complaint to gardaí in February 2010.
