Trial of two men who allegedly raped a 17r old girl starts in High Court

The trial of two men who allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl in 2015 started in the Suva High Court today.

25-year-old Josefa Bera and 27-year-old Matorino Madogo have both pleaded not guilty to the charge of rape.

It is alleged that the two accused persons met the girl at a nightclub in Suva on the 10th of September, 2015.

The two men then left with her later that night promising to drop her home but instead took her to an isolated place in Vatuwaqa where the offence was allegedly committed.

She managed to get into the nightclub because she was dating the bouncer.

The girl was called as the first prosecution witness in court today.

She described the events of 11th September 2015 saying that she gave no consent to the two men to have sex with her.

The girl also identified the two men in court.

The trial continues this afternoon.
