Olding, aged 24 at the time of the alleged incident on 28 June 2016, denied the charge, maintaining that all sexual activity was consensual following a social event at teammate Paddy Jackson's home in south Belfast. The prosecution alleged that Olding forced the complainant's head toward his penis for oral sex while Jackson engaged in vaginal intercourse, with the complainant testifying that she froze in fear and verbally protested, stating "please no, not him as well." Forensic evidence included Olding's DNA detected on the complainant's jeans and top, which the prosecution highlighted as corroborating her account of non-consensual contact, though quantities were low and consistent with transfer during the described acts. Digital communications played a central role, with prosecution presenting WhatsApp and Snapchat messages from Olding, such as one to a friend reading "pumped a bird with Jacko last night, roasted her," arguing they demonstrated a dismissive attitude toward the woman's consent and potential group sexual entitlement. A detective conceded under cross-examination that the complainant's police statements contained inconsistencies regarding the sequence of events and her interactions with others that night. The defense countered with Olding's testimony that the complainant beckoned him into the bedroom and willingly performed for about five minutes, after which he ejaculated onto her chest and , denying any or awareness of distress. Witness Dara Florence, a friend of Jackson present at the house, described observing what appeared to be a consensual involving Olding, with no audible protests or signs of from the complainant. Olding acknowledged the derogatory tone of his messages as "immature boasting" typical of locker-room banter among peers but insisted they did not reflect non-consensual acts.

On April 14, 2018, both organizations revoked the players' central contracts with immediate effect after an internal disciplinary process reviewed their conduct, particularly messages exchanged among the group that were disclosed during the trial and deemed inconsistent with the "core values" of and Irish rugby. The IRFU and stated that the decision was not based on the criminal allegations, of which they were cleared, but on the players' off-field behavior as evidenced by the texts, which included derogatory language toward women.

Conversely, protests erupted outside 's Kingspan Stadium and elsewhere, with demonstrators condemning the players' attitudes as revealed in texts, under slogans like "#IBelieveHer" which trended widely on post-acquittal, emphasizing support for the complainant despite the not guilty verdict. Advocacy groups and some media outlets highlighted the case as emblematic of in rugby's "lads' culture," while defenders, including a full-page advertisement placed by backers in 2018, decried what they saw as a and erosion of . The trial's exposure of private messages amplified scrutiny on Olding's reputation, with reports in October 2018 during related civil proceedings noting that the allegations had "destroyed" his public image, leading to lost endorsements and social ostracism despite legal clearance.
