So two Ulster rugby players are on trial for rape at the minute. Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding.
Imagine your whatsapp messages being read out in Court.
In one text Mr Olding said, “We are all top shaggers”, while in another he said, “There was a bit of spit roasting going on last night fellas”.
Mr Jackson replied “There was a lot of spit”, with Mr Olding responding, “It was like a merry-go-round at a carnival.”
Mr Hedworth said Mr Jackson who denies the allegations told police that the sexual activity was consensual. He said the complainant had consensual oral sex with him and also with Mr Olding. He said they did not have vaginal sex because “she asked if he had a condom and he did not”.
The four defendants appeared in the dock together. Mr Jackson (26) of Oakleigh Park, Belfast, is charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual assault.
Mr Olding (24) from Ardenlee Street, Belfast, is charged with one count of rape.
Mr McIlroy, (26) from Royal Lodge Road, Ballydollaghan, Belfast, is accused of one count of exposure.
Mr Harrison, (25) from Manse Road, Belfast, is charged with perverting the course of justice and withholding information.
All deny the charges against them.
