Omotoso rape trial | Court hears defence arguments

The trial of pastor Timothy Omotoso is underway in the Port Elizabeth High Court.
His defence team is arguing its application to compel the state to provide detailed particulars of the charges against Omotoso.
His lawyer, Peter Daubermann, told the court that as the charge sheet stands it's impossible for the accused to raise an alibi because there are no sufficient details to go with the allegations and that the state has not furnished the defence with accurate times and dates of the alleged offences.
Omotoso and his two co-accused face a total of 97 charges that include alleged rape, human trafficking, racketeering and sexual assault.
