The friend of a student allegedly raped by two men has told a trial she heard the alleged victim moaning and saying the word “harder” during sex.
Giving evidence, the complainant’s friend told the jury they were both “very bad” in the way of intoxication, adding she thought the complainant “was worse”. She recalled being offered but declining a vodka drink. “I couldn’t tell [which one]. He was having sex with her. The other guy was on my side. He had his fingers up my dress and he was penetrating me...
“I was still drunk. We were both really confused, we didn’t know where we were. We were looking for her purse and her bag.”Under cross-examination she agreed that in the days after the incident she told gardaí that the complainant “seemed drunk, she seemed ok drunk, she didn’t seem that bad”.
