Live from Cork Rape Trial Rally

Our reporter Robbie Kane is live at the Cork Rape Trial rally in Dublin.

Rallys are being held around the country in protest over a teenage girl’s underwear being used as evidence against her in an alleged rape case.

The barrister representing a man acquitted of raping a teenager in the city in southwest Ireland suggested the jury in the case should reflect on the underwear worn by the 17-year-old girl. Many people have taken to the streets to protest this saying that a womans clothing should have no bearing on a sexual assault court case and consent.
