«Breaking News» Five men accused of gang-raping British mother, 50, at Italian hotel tell trial she wanted sex

Five men accused of gang-raping a 50-year-old British mother at an Italian hotel claim she consented enthusiastically.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was allegedly targeted while on holiday with her daughter in the upmarket hotel in Sorrento, south of Naples, in May 2016. 

Antonino Miniero told the court: 'She wasn't drugged and she wasn't raped. She was happy to give me oral sex. It was all consensual.'

But the woman's lawyer Lucilla Longone said outside court: 'These claims are ridiculous. It's quite clear my client went through a terrible ordeal and we hope justice will be served by the court.'

Fabio De Virgilio (left) and Davide Gennaro Gargiulo (right) have been accused of raping a 50-year-old British woman at hotel where they worked with their co-accused 

She says she was drugged and woke up to find herself being attacked in a side room by the men who filmed her ordeal at the hotel in Sorrento, Italy. 

But the court in nearby Torre Annunziata heard claims from the accused men - all employees - that she voluntarily took part.

One of the men had initially denied having sex with the woman, but changed his story, the court heard. 

Miniero told the court how he had found his friend Fabio De Virgilio with the woman dressed in just her bra when he walked into a storeroom. 

Miniero added: 'She had already come on to me in the bar earlier when I was working.

'She then threw herself at me started to unbutton my trousers so I went for it. She was happy to give me oral sex. She was just in her bra.'

De Virgilio told the court: 'I had full sex with her. She was happy to do so. She wasn't drugged and she wasn't drunk.'

When asked why he had initially denied having sex with her he replied: 'I didn't want to cause any family issues.'

The court heard how two other men on trial also had consensual sex with her but one changed his mind at the last minute and instead decided to take pictures to 'brag' to his friends.

Police were only alerted of the attack when the woman returned to home to the UK.

The trial previously heard evidence of the DNA of two of the accused being found underneath the alleged victim's fingernails. 

'There was contact between these men and the victim and it was not a simple brushing past,' a forensic expert told the court.

She claimed her drink was spiked on the last night of their holiday in the seaside resort south of Naples, and that up to eight hotel workers had raped her.  

The court heard the gang of workers were caught by police after sharing sick videos of the attack on a Whats App group.

Prosecutors say the victim was taken to a room close to the swimming pool where she was raped several times by the men before stumbling back to her room at the hotel. 

The woman reported the attack to police in England when she returned and DNA samples and drug tests were sent to Italian investigators.

They revealed a high level of date rape drug GHB but lawyers for the five defendants claim the victim was on tranquillisers following the death of her husband.

Speaking in court last month, the victim's daughter broke down in tears as she revealed she believed her drink too was spiked. 

She said: 'My mum seemed distant and far away. She broke down in tears at the airport as we were leaving and told me everything that happened.'

Antonino Miniero, Gennaro Davide Gargiulo, Raffaele Regio, Francesco Ciro D'Antonio, Fabio De Virgilio, Catello Graziuso, Vincenzo and Francesco Guida all deny raping the woman in May 2016.

The trial continues.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
