A TEENAGE milkman had to be held down by his brother and mother when he alleged he had been buggered in a city centre flat, a jury at the Central Criminal Court has been told.
He told his mother to remove his Confirmation photograph from the wall because he was not her son any more as a result of what he alleged happened.
His mother told the jury she had a feeling that night that something was wrong because he had not arrived home at 9 p.m. as he normally did.
When he arrived after midnight, he was "hysterical, roaring and crying". He put his hands out to her and said he had been.
"He kept on saying he was not my son any more and to take his Confirmation photo down," she said in reply to Mr Joseph Mathews SC (with Mr Conor Devally), prosecuting.
The teenager's father said he had been asleep when his son arrived home. He came down the stairs to find the alleged victim being held down by his wife and another son.
Sgt John Byrne said the alleged victim was "very hysterical, bawling and totally incoherent" when he arrived at the station with his brother and their parents. He immediately made arrangements for the teenager's transfer to the Sexual Assaults Unit at the Rotunda Hospital.
The 46 year old defendant denies he raped the teenager by buggery on March 10th, 1994.
Garda Patrick Normile said he got the defendant's address from a computer search. "As luck would have it, his car had been impounded the previous day and details were on the system," he said.
Garda Normile told the jury how he and a colleague had to trick the defendant into opening his flat door. He believed the defendant was inside and he arranged for his colleague, Garda Bernard Jones, to go back down the stairs making plenty of noise and to bang the outside door as if they were leaving.
Garda Normile said the defendant then emerged. He spoke to him, told him of the allegation, arrested him and took him into custody. With his consent he also took sheets from a bed and a mat for forensic examination.
Later, when being questioned, the defendant alleged the teenager had made threats against him and demanded money. They asked the defendant what the alleged blackmail was about and the defendant said the teenager claimed to know "certain things" about him.
The defendant denied he was homosexual and denied the teenager was ever in his flat.
Earlier in cross examination by Mr Barry White SC (with Mr Luigi Rea), defending, the alleged victim said he could not explain how he gave different times to the gardai and in evidence about when they left the pub.
He agreed with Mr White that a lot of the conversation in the pub was between him and the defendant and that an older man was being ignored. They spoke about the Army and other matters such as going to school and college. He denied he suggested that they "get rid" of their companion.
The teenager also denied he made any demands for money from the defendant. He said there was no discussion about money between them.
The hearing continues before Mr Justice Shanley.
