A married PwC worker accused of raping an 18-year-old woman in an alleyway has claimed she repeatedly ‘begged him for sex’. Sanjay Naker, 28, approached the woman after she was thrown out of Number 1 club in London Bridge for being too intoxicated. Inner London crown court heard how he slung her over his shoulder and dragged her away from the busy street on March 11 last year. In a 30 minute attack he forced her to perform sex acts before raping her in the alleyway, it is claimed.
Naker was found by a passerby at 4.45am, standing over her and zipping up his trousers, as she lay unconscious, half naked, covered in urine and vomit. When he was interviewed by police last year, he said: ‘I was quite upset about the ordeal since it happened when I was with my wife and I was like “how can I do this to her?”.’
Naker reportedly told police that he saw the 18 year old having sex with another man on a bench before he left her to go back inside. He said: ‘I asked her if she was alright and she said: “Do you want to f*** me?” ‘Then she just kept saying “f*** me”. That was the only conversation I remember having with her. ‘She honestly just seemed to be very horny at that time. I would not have had sex with her if I had known how drunk she was.’ He added: ‘I was like “what the f**k am I doing, why am I going out and kissing another woman when I don’t need to”.
Naker told police he told a white male to call an ambulance and gave him his number and told him to give it to the girl too.
The court heard how he and his wife have been best friends since they were 17 years old but that he had cheated on her before.
Jurors heard how the last thing the victim remembered was standing in the smoking area with her cousin at the club and they staring at a brick wall in the alley. She learnt the next day how she had been kissing a man from the party on the sofas in the VIP area later that night, but had no recollection of it.
The jury watched CCTV, which showed she appears to be slumped over his back, not really maintaining any grip, before she fell and hit her head on the ground.
Naker, of Wood Green, north London, denies one count of attempted rape, one charge of assault by penetration, and a count of sexual assault.
