Drunk teen woke to find man trying to have sex with her, court hears

A teenage girl has claimed at the Central Criminal Court that she woke to find a Dublin man trying to have sex with her and that he punched her repeatedly in the face when she tried to cry out.

The 19-year-old complainant said she was drunk and "vaguely remembers" her friend putting her to bed at around 5 am before the alleged attack.
