Alleged rape victim tells trial she did not lie

The woman who claims a sergeant raped her in their local garda station has denied during cross-examination at the Central Criminal Court that she told lies concerning the alleged incident.

She denied a suggestion by defence counsel, Mr Michael O’Higgins SC (with Mr Peter Nolan BL), that she had lied to a doctor when she said she had washed all her clothes some hours later and in her earlier evidence that she had drunk five pints of Guinness in a pub.
