Woman claims man she met on Tinder sexually assaulted her on second date

She had pretended to be sleeping, court hears

The trial at Wicklow Circuit Criminal Court heard the parents of the accused, who was aged 20 at the time of the alleged offence, were also at home during the incident.

A woman has told a trial that she was sexually assaulted on the afternoon of her second date with a young man she had met on Tinder, while he thought she was asleep in his bedroom.

The alleged victim, aged 25, said she had pretended to be sleeping because he had got “very clingy and very full on” as they were lying on his bed watching TV.
