Rape accused 'didn't have the guts' to have sex with teenage girl, trial hears

It is the prosecution case that the complainant got into a car with the men in the early hours of the morning and was driven to a location where the four accused and a fifth man not before the courts raped her 'one after another'.

One of the four men accused of raping a teenage girl in a car told gardaí that “what happened in his car he did not want to happen to anyone else” and he wanted the girl to forgive him.

The four men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have all pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to raping the then 17-year-old girl at a location in the midlands on December 27, 2016.
