Seven men, aged between 32 and 55, are on trial in relation to a combined total of 103 charges against them.

The 23-year-old man was 21 when he sexually assaulted the then 15-year-old girl after waking her in the night when she was staying in the family home of her grandmother.

Ms Justice Melanie Greally said the court has a duty to make sure there is a fair trial.
