SINGAPORE: A man who contested charges of raping a stranger's blindfolded girlfriend by claiming that she knew and consented to the acts was found guilty on Friday .
Justice Pang Khang Chau said that the prosecution had proven its case beyond all reasonable doubt. He accepted the evidence of the victim's boyfriend over Srihari's, whom he said was evasive and gave inconsistent testimony and evolving explanations. The boyfriend of the victim had set up arrangements with Srihari to fulfil a threesome fantasy that he had, which was to see his girlfriend have sex with another man.A key issue during the trial was whether Srihari knew that the victim did not consent to the acts.
Video recordings of the first hotel rape played in court showed that there were"absolutely no verbal communications between the accused and the boyfriend throughout the incident", said the judge.READ: Threesome rape trial: Victim's boyfriend testifies about how he planned 'sex game' with accused rapist
"There is clear evidence that the accused knew that their plans were to be kept secret from the victim," said Justice Pang."The accused’s explanation that the term 'secretly' meant only that the plan was to keep the accused identity a secret and not to keep the fact that there was another man in the room a secret is plainly unbelievable."
