Seven men in Ireland face 98 counts of abuse over 17 years; trial uses extensive sign language support, first of its kind.
A landmark trial in Ireland is underway involving seven men accused of sexually abusing a deaf woman and her sisters over 17 years, with 98 counts including rape and sexual assault.
The court is using unprecedented interpretation support—Irish Sign Language interpreters, a deaf relay for older sign methods, and two monitoring teams to catch errors in real time.
A linguistics expert intermediary assists the complainant, who testifies via videolink, with breaks to manage stress.
The trial, expected to last four months, is the first of its kind in Ireland with such extensive support in a multi-defendant case.
All defendants deny the charges.
