A man accused of exposing himself to a woman allegedly raped by two Ireland and Ulster rugby players told police she had performed a sex act on him, a court has heard.
Blane McIlroy was arrested and interviewed under caution by detectives from the PSNI's rape crime unit on 30 June 2016 - two days after the alleged attack.
Mr McIlroy, 26, from Royal Lodge Road, Ballydollaghan, Belfast, denies exposure.
Paddy Jackson, 26, from Oakleigh Park in Belfast, and his Ireland and Ulster team-mate Stuart Olding, 24, from Ardenlee Street also in the city, deny raping the same woman at a house in south Belfast in June 2016.
Mr Jackson denies a further charge of sexual assault.
The rape is alleged to have happened at a house party in Mr Jackson's south Belfast home during the early hours of 28 June 2016.
Another man, 25-year-old Rory Harrison, from Manse Road, Belfast, denies perverting the course of justice and withholding information.

An audio recording of Mr McIlroy’s interviews was played to the jury at Belfast Crown Court.
He told officers he walked into a bedroom and found Mr Jackson and the woman lying on the bed, naked.
Mr McIlroy said that the alleged victim "seemed fine" and did not appear to him that she was "in any sort of distress or discomfort".
It is the first time jurors have heard Mr McIlroy's account of what allegedly happened on the night in his own words.
He said the woman did not attempt to cover herself with bed sheets when he entered the bedroom.
Mr McIlroy said both he and the woman kissed and they engaged in sexual activity.
The court was told that Mr McIlroy left the bedroom to find a condom, and when he returned two to three minutes later, the complainant was getting changed.
He told police that the woman seemed fine and was not crying or upset.
Mr McIlroy told police he had invited Mr Jackson, Mr Olding and Mr Harrison to his home to watch football the previous evening.
They consumed beer and ate pizza and chicken wings before going to another bar to watch another football match where they drank Guinness and a gin and tonic.
Afterwards the men made their way to Ollies nightclub in Belfast city centre where they partied in the VIP area with a more drinks, including some shots, the court heard.
The court also heard how Mr McIlroy was a regular visitor to Mr Jackson's home, staying two or three times a week.
The trial also heard audio recordings of police interviews with Mr Olding, who denies one count of rape.
Mr Olding was questioned by detectives at Musgrave PSNI station about the alleged incident in June 2016.
During the police interviews on 30 June 2016, Mr Olding denied having intercourse with the complainant.
He also told detectives from the PSNI's rape crime unit that he did not see Mr Jackson have sexual intercourse with the woman.
The court also heard that Mr Olding told police Mr Jackson was "sitting on the bed" watching the woman perform a sex act on him.
Mr Olding rejected allegations that he had forced the complainant to perform a sex act on him by putting pressure on the back of her head.
When asked by police what made him believe she was consenting, Mr Olding answered: "She was doing it. I wasn't forcing her."
Earlier in the taped police interviews, Mr Olding was asked if there had been any discussion the morning after the alleged attack between himself and Mr Jackson about what went on in the bedroom.
He said: "Yes. We just talked about what happened. We were pretty hungover. We were drunk whenever it was happening."
At the end of the interviews, Mr Olding's solicitor Joe Rice said: "You can take it from his attitude that he categorically denies any involvement in these allegations."
A juror in the trial has been discharged because of illness.
Addressing the 11 remaining jurors, Judge Patricia Smyth told Belfast Crown Court: "I have received a medical report in respect of the person in your group who was ill and, as a result of the content, I have spoken with him and discharged him from any further involvement in the trial."
