Rape crisis centre calls for media code after George Hook show

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has called for media guidelines on the discussion of sexual assault following controversial comments by Newstalk presenter George Hook last week.

Mr Hook is under fire for comments he made on his programme on Friday about a case of alleged rape in the UK.

The case involved a young woman who met a UK Olympic swimmer on a night out, and returned to his hotel room where they had consensual sex. However, it was alleged that the man then left the room, and another swimmer came in and raped the woman.
