Mother accuses daughter's boyfriend of raping her

A 54-year-old woman who alleges she was raped by her daughter’s boyfriend has denied falsely making similar accusations about other individuals in the past.

The complainant, who has suffered with psychiatric and alcohol problems, told a Central Criminal Court jury that previous allegations she had made of abuse were true, and the trial was her chance to say how what had happened to her was wrong and that “no means no”.
