Rape accused said "he might go down and chance a blowjob", witness tells trial

Two Leitrim men have pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to charges of rape and oral rape following an alleged incident at a flat in a Co Leitrim town in 2017. A witness told the trial that the first accused emerged from a bedroom and disclosed he had engaged in sexual activity with the woman, displaying scratches on his back. The witness further testified that the second accused stated he would attempt oral sex with the woman, claiming prior consent to such activity. Medical evidence presented indicated the complainant had bruising in her throat and a swollen uvula. The woman testified she did not consent to sexual contact with either man and had lost consciousness before finding them engaged in sexual activity with her upon regaining awareness. The trial before Ms Justice Eileen Creedon and a jury continues.
