Alleged rape victim was diagnosed with STI, court hears

A Roscommon doctor has revealed she found sexually transmitted genital warts on a 13-year-old girl who subsequently accused her father’s employee of anal rape.

The doctor told Mr Bernard Condon SC, prosecuting, at the Central Criminal Court, that the warts around the girl’s anus could only have appeared after direct contact with a penis since this type of infection is rarely transmitted by any other contact.
