An alleged IRA member accused of raping two teenage boys at a republican safe house has told his trial he had consensual sex with one of the complainants years later. The accused said this man told him he was bisexual and they subsequently had a consensual sexual relationship over a few months. The man told Mr Fitzgerald he had noticed that the complainant with whom he had had a sexual relationship seemed “distressed” during their final meeting. He told Mr Gageby he was not lying about his relationship with that complainant. Earlier, Detective Garda Seamus Nolan agreed with Mr Fitzgerald that his client had never been arrested for any “alleged subversive activities”.
