Wexford sex assault trial opens

A Central Criminal Court jury has heard how a woman who alleges she was orally raped and sexually assaulted by her former partner cut her wrist when the accused man told her he wanted to end their relationship on a previous occasion.

The woman told the court that she picked up a knife and lacerated her wrist in an act of “complete frustration” after a row where the accused man told her he had met another woman.
