In a trial at Belfast Crown Court, a 50-year-old man, Mohammad Khader Abdel Aqel, is accused of raping a woman he met on a dating website. The jury, comprised of seven women and five men, heard that the accused and the 48-year-old woman initially connected on the Plenty Of Fish dating app. According to Crown barrister Gary McHugh KC, they exchanged messages before arranging to meet at the woman's flat on June 10. On that date, Aqel arrived, and after a hug, the woman offered him tea, which he declined. As she went to the bathroom, she later found Aqel naked in her bed. Despite her insistence on using a condom, Aqel ignored her protests and had sex with her. The incident only stopped when she slapped him and told him to leave. Aqel denies the rape allegation, claiming the sexual intercourse was consensual. The trial is ongoing, with Aqel issuing a statement through his solicitor and subsequently refusing to comment further during police interviews.

The recent incident of a teenager being stopped by police while driving a scrambler on a main road in West Belfast has raised concerns about the illegal use of these vehicles. The police have issued a statement urging parents to ensure that their children are not engaging in illegal scrambling activities. The incident occurred on the Glen Road area of Poleglass, where the teenager was stopped shortly before 10 am on Saturday morning. The scrambler was seized, and the boy has been reported to the Youth Diversion Officer.

With the current weather conditions, the potential for serious incidents involving these vehicles is high, and it is crucial for parents to be vigilant in preventing illegal scrambling activities.
