Rape accused said 'I can't deny it happened', trial hears
A retired garda sergeant has revealed the Wicklow businessman accused of raping and indecently assaulting a schoolgirl over 30 years ago told him he couldn’t deny the allegations when arrested.
The retired officer said he noted the man to say: “I can’t deny it happened”, and “I can’t very well deny this happened but I want to talk to my solicitor,” before he was accompanied to the local garda station.
