A Monaghan youth has told a rape trial jury he saw another man having intercourse with a naked and unconscious woman. He also told the jury in the Central Criminal Court that some weeks later, the defendant threatened him because of statements he had made to the gardai.
He was giving evidence on the second day of the trial of a 19-year-old Monaghan man who denies four charges of rape and sexual assault of the Co Sligo woman in August 1997, in a disco car park in Bundoran. John McCleneghan (21), of Derravoy, Emyvale, Co Monaghan, has pleaded guilty to raping the woman on the same occasion.
