Kerry rape trial jury urged to disregard previous 'rape-play' between accused and complainant

During closing speeches, the defence said the prosecution was categorising his client as “some kind of low-grade pimp”.

Mr Justice Michael White adjourned the case late this evening until Monday at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork.

The prosecution in a case against a “low-grade pimp” for allegedly raping a sex worker in Kerry urged them to disregard the prior sexual history between the two parties but the defence said the alleged rape was consensual and similar to what occurred between them in the past.

During closing speeches, the defence said the prosecution was categorising him as “some kind of low-grade pimp”. The defence claimed the complainant made her allegations against him to rid herself of him from her life.
