A 23-year-old Czech national has denied in evidence at the Central Criminal Court that he raped a Galway woman who had run up to him on the street and kissed him while he walked home.

The accused who was giving evidence in his defence at the end of the prosecution case has pleaded not guilty to raping and sexually assaulting the woman on her parked car in a Co Galway town.
