Alleged rape victim continued friendship with accused 'to protect secret', court told

A Dublin man has today admitted that he continued a business and personal relationship with his alleged abuser after he stopped molesting him because the man was the only other person who knew the secret.

The 75-year-old accused has pleaded not guilty to 19 charges of indecent assault on dates between January 1, 1969 and June 30, 1973 when the complainant was aged between 13 and 17 years old.
