Overview
- One defendant, Karin Al-Danasurt, told police he recorded the beach encounter to document what he saw for officers and denied having sex with the woman or sharing the clips.
- Prosecutors showed the jury CCTV from two Brighton nightspots and a CPS map that traces the men from the Revolution bar to the Horizon nightclub and down to the beach.
- The complainant, a 33-year-old who said she was paralytic drunk, recalled waking on the stones and described being assaulted as a phone light shone in her face.
- Co-defendant Abdulla Ahmadi told police all three men had consensual sex, while Ibrahim Alshafe denied being there as officers cited DNA reported on swabs from the woman.
- All three are asylum seekers who were staying in Home Office-approved accommodation, the trial continues at Hove Crown Court, and coverage ranges from The Argus’s procedural focus to the Daily Mail’s emphasis on the men’s immigration status.
