“The correct position is that no one, as far as I’m aware — but in particular the Irish guys — have done anything wrong,” Cahir O’Higgins, the Irish pair’s legal representative told The42.ie.
“They’re helping the police as witnesses. And as I understand it, speaking generally, there’s evidence that no one did anything wrong.”
A young woman claimed she had been raped on Saturday, 11 March. The complaint was filed the following day.
