CCTV footage claiming to show Nikita Hand on night of assault is debunked

Recent social media posts claim to show CCTV footage of Nikita Hand and James Lawrence on the night of a sexual assault. However, reporters have confirmed that these claims are false. The footage, dated December 14, 2018, does not match the timeline of the assault, which occurred on December 9, 2018. Key details, such as clothing differences, further disprove the claims. RTÉ News has stated that the footage is not from the case, and it has been reported to X/Twitter. Journalists present during the trial confirmed that the footage shown online was not part of the evidence presented.
