Young woman tells rape trial she 'did not consent' to sex 

The 28-year-old defendant, who was 25 at the time of the alleged incident, denies the single count on the indictment of raping a woman on August 27, 2017. 

A drug associated with cocaine was found in the system of a young woman who claimed she was raped after a social night out where she had several drinks.

Defence senior counsel Siobhán Lankford suggested to a forensic scientist at a trial by judge and jury at the Central Criminal Court that cocaine would make someone “more hyper and excitable”.
