Mr Gordon speaks out against the defendants

After laying the case and evidence, Mr Gordon told the court:

In the face of this, Mr McGregor will tell you that this was a consensual encounter, that they were just having fun and a bit of rough s*x. Thatโ€™s his answer.โ€

โ€ฆ..What he is saying is that she gave him a licence to carry out what has to have been a brutal assault on her body.โ€

Gordon cited the defenceโ€™s claims that Nikita Ni Laimhin had several opportunities to complain but did not. He also cited how the defence claimed that Ni Laimhin was attempting to extort McGregor. Gordon further shared how his client was being called a โ€œgold digger and a fraudโ€.

However, he stated how his client was being brave:

Because she pursued her mission for vindication and compensation to which she is entitled. And for these defendants to breezily and cheekily dispose of her claim is something you will consider in due course.โ€
