Jury to deliberate on trial of Cork teen accused of raping brother's girlfriend at sports ground

When he gave his direct evidence to the defence senior counsel, the defendant said he lied about exchanging nude images with the complainant because he was embarrassed for his father to hear about this in the garda station.

The jury for the rape trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court will continue their deliberations on Monday in the case where the complainant and the accused exchanged nude photos and videos on Snapchat some two years before the alleged rape.

The complainant was 16 and the accused was 17 at the time of the alleged rape in a dugout at a County Cork sports ground. Two years before that they had exchanged intimate images via Snapchat.
