CCTV evidence shown in Cork rape case

A lawyer representing the young man accused of raping a young woman in a laneway in Cork city said today that CCTV shows a man and woman walking arm in arm as they entered the laneway.

Mr Justice Alexander Owens and a jury of four women and eight men looked at more video evidence of the two parties on various streets around Cork city centre in the early hours of the morning in question. By approximately 3.30am, the man and woman, shown in the CCTV evidence, are walking together on a main street and then turning into a lane where it is alleged that rape occurred.
