Five males and one girl having sex in a car not 'automatically gang rape', trial told

Defence lawyer for one of four men accused of rape told jury it was not their job to bring 'moral judgement to the events of the night' 

Closing speeches in the trial of four men accused of raping a then 17-year-old girl in a midlands town in December 2016 are continuing on Friday.

Lawyers for four men accused of taking part in the “gang rape” of a teenage girl in a car over five years ago have told jurors it was not their role to judge the morality of the events that night.

In the early hours of the morning of December 27, 2016, in a midlands town, the then 17-year-old girl got into a car with five men, a decision she has told the jury she now believes was “very stupid”.
