Overview
- The prosecutor questioned Abdulla Ahmadi about leaving his asylum hotel the day after October 4, 2025, and about receiving three clips of the incident with two placed in a hidden phone folder, which he denied watching.
- Jurors have seen three short videos that prosecutors say were filmed by Karin Al-Danasurt, along with seafront CCTV that shows the woman stumbling and needing support.
- All three men deny rape, with Ibrahim Alshafe and Ahmadi saying the sex was consensual and Ahmadi alleging police threatened him and altered his statement.
- Charges include two counts of rape each for Alshafe and Ahmadi, plus four counts against Al-Danasurt as a secondary party for allegedly encouraging the assaults by filming, and one count for sharing intimate films.
- The defendants were living at the Home Office‑approved Cisswood House Hotel for asylum seekers in Horsham, and the case continues at Lewes Crown Court in Hove.
