Accused ‘struck woman but did not rape her’
The accused, aged 49, also gave evidence yesterday. “I am nearly 50 years of age, I have had girlfriends, I never had to force any woman into sex. You get the list of them up here, get on to them all and see what complaint is there,” he said.
The defendant denied a charge of raping her at his home in Cork on May 9, 2012. He admitted a charge of assault causing harm to her on the same date.
