Brian Jalo and Juan Quinones deny raping the woman
A man accused of raping a woman in Piccadilly Gardens has told a jury she was 'smiling' and 'laughing out loud'. Brian Jalo, 25, and Juan Quinones, 24, deny raping the woman in an alleyway near Piccadilly Gardens.
She had met Mr Jalo and Mr Quinones in the city centre the day before and exchanged Instagram account details with Mr Jalo, the jury was told. After spending the afternoon shopping and drinking, she went into Piccadilly Gardens at about 8pm the following day alone following an argument with her friend. She had received a text from Mr Jalo and later met up.
Asked why at one point he stopped and got up to look down the road, the defendant said: "Because we were having sex and we were having it on a public road, and that's an offence in this country."
