At the Supreme Court a man is standing trial for offences related to child sexual abuse.

Albert Bacarisa is charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child under the age of 16. Mr Bacarisa denies all charges.

The trial began with the complainant’s interview being played to the jury. In it, she told police that on the night of 2nd July 2022 she had been sexually abused by the defendant.

She said that immediately afterwards she messaged two friends, telling them what had happened and asking them to collect her, adding that she had the WhatsApp messages to support this.

The trial continues.
