Paddy Jackson takes to the stand in trial
He says he has never been in a fight, isn’t aggressive and has never been violent towards another person.
The Ireland and Ulster rugby player is giving evidence in defence of an allegation he raped and sexually assaulted a woman in his Belfast home in 2016.
He denies both charges.
He told the jury she followed him upstairs to his bedroom at one point where they "passionately" kissed on his bed.
He denied her claim that he tried to remove her trousers while they were kissing and said she didn’t say "no" at any stage during this first incident.
