Accused says gardaí 'framed' him

A Corkman accused of raping a 12-year-old girl has said she kissed him when he fell on her bed accidentally and she, her family, and gardaí have framed him with allegations of rape.

The now 39-year-old accused man told the jury on day-4 of his trial that any admissions of sexual contact between him and the girl attributed to him were fabricated by gardaí.
