Two men guilty of raping "blind drunk" student

A jury at the Central Criminal Court has convicted two men of raping a woman in County Donegal in February 2015. Boakye Osei, aged 29, of Tooban, Burnfoot, and Kelvin Opoku, aged 33, of Cill Graine, Letterkenny, pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape. Following a five-week trial, the jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts after deliberating for just over two hours. The court heard that the men met the woman and her friend after a night out and invited them to their flat. The complainant, now in her twenties, testified she was extremely intoxicated and unable to consent to any sexual activity. Mr Justice Alex Owens certified both men as sex offenders and ordered a Probation Service report and victim impact statement. He remanded them in custody pending sentencing on 13 January 2020.
