Taxi driver on trial for rape of two women in Dublin

A taxi driver has gone on trial charged with raping two young women in separate incidents in Dublin in the summer of 2022.

The court heard that both women had both been working, socialising and drinking in the city centre. The first incident took place in June 2022 and the second in August of that year.

Each young woman found themselves in a taxi driven by the accused while on their way home from a night out and each said they were raped by him.

The man in his 50s, from Dublin, denies the charges and says that, in each case, the interactions with the women were instigated by them and were consensual.
