Asylum Seeker Tells Court He Filmed Brighton Beach Rape 'to Try to Stop It'
The defendant said he recorded three videos to stop the assault, while prosecutors said his actions encouraged the rape and the woman fell twice.
- On Tuesday, Karin Al-Danasurt testified at Hove Crown Court regarding his alleged role in the October 4 rape of a woman in Brighton, denying four counts of rape and one count of sharing intimate films.
- Prosecutors described the alleged attack by Al-Danasurt, Ibrahim Alshafe, and Abdulla Ahmadi as "cynical, predatory and callous," with all three residing at the Home Office-approved Cisswood House Hotel in Lower Beeding, West Sussex.
- While denying charges, Al-Danasurt told jurors he captured three videos attempting to get Alshafe and Ahmadi to stop, despite accusations he spat on the woman and encouraged the rape by filming it.
- Prosecutor Hanna Llewellyn-Waters KC branded Al-Danasurt's defense a "pack of lies" during Tuesday's cross-examination, questioning his tone in videos and asking "what was so funny" while filming.
- Evidence revealed Al-Danasurt sent recordings of the alleged rape to Ahmadi via Snapchat and later shared a barbecue with his co-defendants, which he claims resulted from feeling threatened.
