Defence makes case in taxi rape case

A young woman accusing a Limerick taxi driver of rape has agreed she could not “retrieve the situation” once a friend had called gardaí about the alleged incident against her wishes.

The 21-year-old complainant agreed when defence counsel, Mr Conor Devally SC, put it to her that “there wasn’t one point where you may have said to gardaí: ‘I don’t know (what happened)’” once her friend had called gardaí for her.
