DNA extracted from rape victim matched that of accused, court told

A forensic scientist has told a Central Criminal Court jury that DNA extracted from semen found in an alleged rape victim matched that of the Wexford man accused of the crime.

The 25-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape and one of anal rape of the woman at her Waterford home on August 31, 2006. His 22-year-old co-accused denies raping her on the same occasion.
