The teen and six other men had first appeared in court on Saturday. Garda Ciaran Rogers told Judge Mitchell that Mr Black "made no reply" when charged.
In the account she gave to gardai, she stated she was brought to a flat in Henrietta House in car with a group of five males, including Mr Black, who allegedly "escorted her to the scene". The garda also claimed she was attacked with hammers and a makeshift blowtorch consisting of a deodorant bottle and a lighter, and the males cut her hair. She told gardai that "every one of the males were participating in the attack on her".
The defence maintained she had been staying at Mr Black's D8 flat. He entered, and he told her, "Come on, we have to go", and she travelled in the car with him and four other males, the court heard. Mr Lysaght said his client had needed surgery for an 18-centimetre cut to his head and had been under pressure to "coax" the woman to go in the car. Mr Black sat silently at the side of the courtroom throughout the hearing.
