Overview
- Ibrehim, 25, a Sudanese national who had been living at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, is on trial at Portsmouth Crown Court facing charges of rape and voyeurism.
- Prosecutors say CCTV shows the pair moving out of view for about five minutes in the court’s vehicle entry bay in the early hours of June 11, 2025.
- A phone clip recovered by police was said to capture a male voice saying “don’t worry,” and the complainant told officers learning of the recording made her feel physically sick.
- WhatsApp messages presented in court included a next-day text from the defendant saying he enjoyed meeting her, followed by her reply accusing him of hurting her and taking advantage when she was drunk.
- In a police interview, the defendant said the encounter was consensual and that he filmed parts to show consent, while Judge Daniel Sawyer authorized a juror visit to the scene because it sits directly behind the court.
