Teen girl, 18, 'raped twice on night out including by passer-by who asked "can I have a go next?"' | The Sun
February 9, 2023A TEEN was raped twice including by a passer-by who asked "can I have a go next?", a court heard.
The 18-year-old student had become separated from her friends while on a night out in London's West End.
Southwark Crown Court was told she ended up in Victoria Embankment Gardens where she was raped by a man.
He is still on the loose following the alleged horror attack in August 2019, Mail Online reports.
Jurors were told during that sex assault, a second man, Wesley Roden, approached and asked: "Can I have a go next?"
The 33-year-old, who denies rape, was then allegedly told: "Yeah, you can do what you like when I'm done".

Homeless Roden then forced himself on the student before she eventually left the park and was found by a "good Samaritan", jurors heard.
Jurors were told the girl had been out with two friends after having "pre-drinks" of vodka, cider and beer.
But when they were refused entry to Heaven nightclub, the group headed to a McDonald's to sober up.
The alleged victim then got separated from her friends and gained entry to the nightclub.

She was seen on CCTV leaving at 2.40am with the first suspect, who helped her climb over the locked parked gates, it was said.
He was then recorded leaving alone, followed by the woman eight minutes later.
Her friend sobbed as she told the court how the complainant was allegedly attacked.
She said: "She said all she could remember was walking down a dark road by Heaven towards the park.
"She said: 'I didn't see the man's face. There was a bright light shining in my face'.
"She is such a sensible person. She had never gone missing before."
Roden was arrested at the Charing Cross subway, where he was sleeping rough, by officers saying they were investigating an "incident".
The court was shown police bodycam footage of Roden saying he was "f**king confused" and was not "involved in anything".
He said: "I'm walking off the park and there's a guy and girl on the floor having sex, totally naked and they just carried on s****ing.
"The man said: 'Get yourself involved, get your pants down', and the girl said: 'Get yourself involved' and is pulling at my pants.
"It's the maddest situation ever and we both had sex with this girl and he was someone I did not even know. Is this something to do with that?"
After he was arrested, Roden replied: "I'm not a rapist".
