Lagan College: Neil Beckett denies raping young girl

Appearing in the witness stand at his trial, for the first time, Mr Beckett was asked by his defence team how he responded to an allegation that he raped a young cadet.

He replied: “It did not happen.”

Mr Beckett also denied calling to her home when she was 14 or 15 years of age.

He said: “I didn’t know where she lived.”

He gave the same answer when he was asked if he digitally penetrated or sexually assaulted the same girl.

When he was asked if he threatened the girl or her family, he said “no”.

He also responded to a claim by another alleged victim, who was at the same Army cadet detachment, that he communicated with her through the social media app Snapchat, saying: “I’ve never had Snapchat”.
