A complicated jigsaw assembled from the busy chatter obtained from the mobile phones of the young men at the centre of this trial in the aftermath of the alleged rape was part of this. Two minutes later, at 10.10am, a friend of Mr Olding's had texted him, asking: "How was she?" At 12.15, the alleged victim had texted Mr Harrison telling him that what happened had "not been consensual" and he responded: "Jesus." Some 50 minutes later, at 1.05pm, he was texting Blane McIlroy saying: "Mate, the scenes last night were hilarious." Three minutes later, Mr McIlroy posted a picture of himself with the three other girls at the party, captioned "Love Belfast Sluts" to another WhatsApp group called 'The Juicers'.
