British rapper Slowthai, real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton, is on trial for allegedly raping two women after a concert, but he and a friend vehemently deny the charges.
The statements are said to have taken place on the terrace after a show at the Bullingdon Club in Oxford.
He and Alex Blake-Walker, 27, face two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against one of the women.
Frampton was supported by his singer’s wife Anne-Marie as the trial began this week at Oxford Crown Court.
As reported by The Sun, Prosecutor Heather Stangoe said the two women became separated from their group of friends during a house party after the concert.
The defendants were not concerned with consent and their intent was to achieve sexual gratification, Stangoe said.
The two women were raped at the same time, the prosecution claims – and as the defendants talk about “swapping” them.
It was claimed one of the women had been taking drugs and drinking heavily, but Stangoe insisted that, in reality, her alcohol level “rendered” her lack of capacity to consent rather than mitigating this .
The jury heard the incident developed when the defendants were “interrupted” and Frampton jumped from the roof into the garden below to escape.
The two men were arrested later that year and both denied the charges, maintaining that any sexual activity was consensual.
The trial is still ongoing as the court scrutinizes the evidence and testimony presented.
Slowthai first made waves in 2019 when he released his debut album Nothing Great About Britain and earned his first Grammy nomination in 2021.
He married Anne-Marie in a Vegas ceremony in July 2022, then became a father for the first time this year.
