Jurors told not to make moral judgements on accused or 'victim blame' in rape trial

A judge has told the jury in the trial of three Dublin men accused of raping a woman in a car that they must not make moral judgements on the accused or engage in “victim blaming”.

The three men, who are now in their early 20s and who cannot be named for legal reasons, have pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to raping a woman at Bull Island, Dollymount, Dublin, on January 5, 2016.
