Overview
- Karin Al-Danasurt, who resumed testimony Tuesday, was pressed by prosecutor Hanna Llewellyn-Waters KC over his tone in the clips and a three-and-a-half-minute gap before he began filming.
- Al-Danasurt told the court he recorded three videos to try to make his friends stop and to defend himself, and he denied spitting on the woman, slapping her, laughing, or urging the men on.
- Prosecutors said he treated the footage as 'trophy' material and alleged he sent the clips to co-defendant Abdulla Ahmadi via Snapchat shortly after the incident, which he denied.
- Jurors heard the woman had been separated from friends and stumbled in the street before the beach encounter, that she fell twice in footage described in court, and that Al-Danasurt did not call for help and walked away.
- Ibrahim Alshafe and Ahmadi each deny two counts of rape, Al-Danasurt denies four counts as a secondary party and a separate charge of sharing intimate films, and the Hove Crown Court trial continues with all three having lived at a Home Office-approved asylum hotel at the time.
