A teenage student was raped twice while on a night out – as a passerby asked, ‘can I have a go next?’, a court heard.
The 18-year-old had become separated from her two friends when the group were refused entry to Charing Cross superclub Heaven.
She was later at Victoria Embankment Gardens with a mystery male who remains wanted by police.
A Wesley Roden, 33, from, Warrington was arrested the next day and has pleaded not guilty to one count of raping the young woman in the early hours of August 16, 2019.
Southwark Crown Court heard a ‘good Samaritan’ assisted the student when she clambered back over the gates to the small park.
Police Inspector Tariq McKinsey told the jury: “We were flagged down by a male and female, who was crying and incredibly distressed and said she had been raped.
“She stated she did not remember much, but was in a park and forced to have sex against her will and while being raped another male, with a beard approached, and said: ‘Can I have a go next?’
