An asylum seeker filmed an alleged rape by two others on Brighton\u00a0beach because he was “trying to stop it”, a court has heard.<\/p>\n
Egyptian national Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, is accused of spitting on a woman, calling her a “dirty bitch” and encouraging co-defendants Ibrahim Alshafe, 25, and Abdulla Ahmadi, 26, to rape her on 4 October last year.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors described the alleged attack as “cynical, predatory and callous”.<\/p>\n
The woman had been separated from her friends on a night out when the trio found her “staggering in the street” alone, jurors were told.<\/p>\n
Hove Crown Court heard that footage showed the woman falling down twice.<\/p>\n
Iranian national Ahmadi and Egyptian national Alshafe have each denied two counts of raping the woman.<\/p>\n
Al-Danasurt is jointly charged on all four rape counts as a secondary party “encouraging the rape by his actions at the scene, including filming it”, and has pleaded not guilty to all four charges.<\/p>\n
He denies a fifth count of “sharing intimate films” without the complainant’s consent after allegedly sending footage of the alleged attack to Ahmadi on Snapchat.<\/p>\n
He told jurors that by filming three videos he was trying to get Alshafe and Ahmadi to stop and also so he could show somebody what had happened.<\/p>\n
