Rape accused was agitated the morning after alleged incident, court hears

The former girlfriend of a man accused of falsely imprisoning, raping, sexually assaulting and threatening to kill a female escort has told a Central Criminal Court jury that when she spoke to him by telephone the morning after the alleged incident, he sounded “agitated, confused and not making any sense”.

The woman, who had been in a relationship with the accused man for a number of years at the time of the alleged offences, was spending the night with a friend.
