Jury retires in trial of two men accused of raping two schoolgirls
Carlisle Crown Court
A jury in the trial of two men accused of raping two schoolgirls in the bedroom of a Carlisle house has retired to begin its deliberations.
James Nelson, 35, and 37-year-old Arran Toal, each deny two charges.
Nelson is accused of raping one schoolgirl, while Toal stands accused of raping a different girl. The men also each deny an alternative charge alleging sexual activity with the respective children.
Jurors at Carlisle Crown Court have seen video footage of separate interviews the girls gave to police.
They spoke of being driven by Nelson to Toal’s Harraby home, on the evening  of January 20 2018, and are said to have been “quite drunk” by that stage having been given alcohol.
