Jurors have retired to consider their verdict in a trial in which a 25-year-old man stands accused of raping a 15-year-old girl.
Jamie Hall, of Fettiplace Road, Barton, Oxford, denies one charge of rape, one of sexual assault and two of sexual activity with a child.
He has told police the girl said she was raped because he had sex with her mother or because he stopped having sex with her.
Judge Eccles this morning told the jury that "plainly this is a case in which someone is telling you some lies".
Prosecutor Peter Coombe told jurors Hall's account of events on August 10, last year was "utterly absurd".
Sumita Mahtab, defending, said there were too many inconsistencies in the victim's evidence and that of her mother.
She said: "If they were telling the truth there should be some consistency, but there is none."
