PHOTO: ODT FILESA man accused of raping a masseuse in Invercargill says he never forced her to have sex with him. Mr Young reminded the jury that Morgan did not need to do so and the burden of proving the charges lay with with the Crown. Mr Young said this was not what happened. "He did not receive oral sex from her and there was no vaginal sex, so there was no unlawfully detention, no sexual violation and no rape," Mr Young said. He was confident the jury would be reminded of the points he raised when he cross-examined the Crown’s witnesses, Mr Young said.
