In a story that will likely make you angry and leave your mouth hanging open in shock, a jury has acquitted a millionaire businessman of rape after he “accidentally” tripped and penetrated her while she slept.
The Herald Sun reports:
Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was initially accused of forcing himself on the 18-year-old as she slept on a couch at his London flat after a night of drinking.
The Saudi property developer said he had already had sex with the young woman’s 24-year-old friend and it was possible he may have been exposed out of his underwear when he tripped.
The Mirror reported the group had met at an exclusive West End club last year where he entertained them before offering them a lift home.
The 18-year-old claimed that after a number of drinks at Abdulaziz’s north London home, she went to sleep on the couch.
She said she woke up to find him on top of her, forcing himself on her.
“She woke up with the defendant kissing her and (being penetrated),” Prosecutor Jonathan Davies told the court
“She said: ‘What are you doing?’ and he said ‘It’s fine’, indicating that her friend was asleep.“She got up to find her friend, tried to wake her but couldn’t, she then tried to get out of the flat as quickly as she could.”
Abdulaziz said he had accidentally fallen on the teenager and that she tried to seduce him, and that was how his DNA got onto her.
