Banker faces trial for student rape

A former Goldman Sachs executive accused of raping an Irish student at his luxury holiday home in Long Island in New York will go on trial in April.

Investment banker Jason Lee, 38, is accused of raping a 20-year-old student on August 17, 2013. He denies the charges of rape, assault and sexual misconduct.

The student was in the US working for the summer on a J1 visa and has since returned to Ireland.
