HOW IT LOOKED AS IF HE HAD LIED ABOUT HIS AGE

In the first conversation between Mr Kay and his accuser, whom we have called ‘Jane Smith’, the deleted messages (in red) make it look as if Mr Kay lied about his age.

Danny Kay Hey xx

HOW FRIENDLY EXCHANGES AFTER ‘RAPE’ WERE HIDDEN

The original jury never saw the friendly texts sent by the accuser after the alleged rape

DK Baby what’s your number my phones deleted everything xxxxx JS 07*** ****** xxx

JS Me long to wat? And yh I did! If u think I like [name] idnt :L!!!

JS I aint got no one!! wish I did but never will!! N tbh [to be honest] u dint like me. like ya say u woulda at least put up a fight but dm [doesn’t matter]

HOW IT LOOKED AS IF HE WAS ADMITTING TO ‘HURTING’ HER PHYSICALLY

Further deleted texts made it appear Mr Kay was admitting that he ‘hurt’ his accuser

DK I do like u i’m just fed up of everyone trying to f*** everything up for me, I just don’t want you being hurt

JS its too late im already hurt!

DK I just wish people would stay out of my life, yh I was talking to that [name] and prob lead her on but she kept telling me she loved me and everything even though I aint seen her in ages, she just seemed a nice girl but I never made a move to make anything of it. Where I was talking to u more, and since I was talking to u I never reli spoke to her at all, and I tried to make a move with u to make it work for us because I wanted somet serious, but she obviously got jealous n don’t like it. I stopped talking to any gal as soon as you got with me. But what’s happened has happened.

DK no reply JS I just got ur message. yh well I dno wat to say

DK ok it dm [doesn’t matter]

JS I thought u woulda at least tried to get me back but u was like yh ok

DK yh [name] just keep f***n my life up. I just give up. surprised I int [haven’t] topped myself yet.

JS Dnt say tht!

HOW IT LOOKED AS IF HE WAS APOLOGISING FOR HAVING RAPED HER

In perhaps the most damning exchange, several deleted messages make it appear as if Mr Kay was apologising for the ‘rape’

DK I mean it I have to much of a f*****d up life to keep going and going

JS just keep goin! DK what for. I have nothing
