Garda station alleged rape evidence 'unreliable'

The jury in the trial of a sergeant accused of raping a woman in a Co Donegal garda station has been told he must be acquitted because the prosecution evidence is unreliable.

Defence counsel, Mr Michael O’Higgins SC (with Mr Peter Nolan BL) told the jury in his closing address at the Central Criminal Court there were "seismic shifts" in the accounts of the alleged rape and in her evidence in court by the complainant.
