Two college students were seen on camera high-fiving and making sexual gestures after allegedly raping an intoxicated woman inside a London nightclub, a court heard on Thursday.
Ferdinando Orlando, 25, and Lorenzo Costanzo, 26, are on trial for allegedly raping the 25-year-old woman in the Toy Room Club in February 2017, Metro UK reported.
Jurors watched security footage of the pair “passing her from one to another” before bringing her to a maintenance room, where she claims she was sexually assaulted, according to the report.
The trio can be seen in the video exiting the room 16 minutes later.
“Orlando can be seen re-arrange [sic] her dress, which was twisted and raised at the front,” prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the two men then headed outside where they celebrated the sexual conquest.
“They ran straight up the stairs to the outside, where they can be seen hugging, high-fiving each other, strong-arming, laughing and looking at what appear to be images or videos on a mobile phone,” prosecutors said.
The pair also made “gestures simulating sexual intercourse and oral intercourse” as well as “appear to laugh and congratulate each other,” according to prosecutors.
Both men have insisted that the woman consented to the sexual encounter.
