Scene on Jason Derulo tour bus "like something from Amsterdam", alleged rape victim tells trial

Summary

A 19‑year‑old woman accused two men of rape and false imprisonment on a tour bus after a Jason Derulo concert in Cork on 27 June 2014. The defendants, aged 35 and 44, pleaded not guilty to rape, oral rape, sexual assault, false imprisonment, and anal rape. The complainant described the bus scene as "like something from Amsterdam," detailing how a man with a cap approached her, forced her to remove her jumpsuit, and raped her while she was restrained. She claimed a second, larger man also raped her. She escaped after a third man threatened her. The trial is ongoing before Mr Justice Paul Butler and a jury. The case involves allegations of sexual assault and false imprisonment, with the defendants denying the charges.
