An Auckland man accused of participating in the pack rape of a German tourist has told jurors that it was the woman who propositioned him, and that she seemed to be enjoying herself.  The 21-year-old – referred to as O due to ongoing name suppression – added that by the time he and two others dropped off the woman at her hostel on New Year’s morning last year, she was both thankful for the ride and apologetic for having “ruined” their night with a navigation error.  “Throughout the night, was she ever unconscious that you saw?” defence lawyer Annabel Cresswell asked her client.  “No,” he responded through an interpreter yesterday as he spent the entire day in the witness box inside the High Court at Auckland’s largest courtroom.  “Was she ever upset that you saw?” Cresswell followed up.  “No, I never saw that,” the defendant said, briefly breaking into tears as his testimony concluded.  But prosecutor Fiona Culliney suggested during the lengthy and frequently combative cross-examination that almost every major element of O’s account of that night sounded made up – sometimes directly contradicting CCTV from various locations.  “The three of you had found a drunk girl in a bar and made a plan,” the prosecutor put to the defendant. “You made a plan to take her away and pack rape her.”  O, the final witness of what has been a two-week trial, disagreed.  The defendant, along with friends B and S, are all charged with three counts of rape. Each man faces one count for allegedly raping the woman himself and two counts for aiding or encouraging his friends to take part.  O and B, linked to the woman through DNA testing, have both admitted having sex with her but insist it was consensual. S told police he was asleep through the whole incident and didn’t have sex with her at all.  The then-19-year-old complainant, who said she emerged from a blackout to find one of the men having sex with her, didn’t give consent and was too intoxicated to give it anyhow, prosecutors have said. The woman’s own memory from that night, however, was too disjointed to give a precise account of what happened.  ‘She touched my body’  O told jurors he had worked out with F on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve 2024 before they drove into the city in O’s car to meet up with friends and drink in an Auckland Central carpark.  It was his first time drinking, O said, mirroring claims made by his two co-defendants.  The trio and two other friends watched the fireworks over the SkyTower before driving about 500m to Family Bar, he said. It was inside the popular Karangahape Rd nightclub, packed with New Year’s revellers, that O said the complainant made her first move on him as he stood near the bar.  “She came to me,” he said. “We talked for some time and then she started dancing with me. She touched my body. She sang, and these types of things.”  Family Bar on Auckland Central's Karangahape Rd.

A couple of minutes after that, as the woman and B were still kissing, he took a two-second video of them. It was because “that was such an interesting scene for me”, he said, clarifying later that it was so he could tease his friend about it later.  ‘She said pull over’  He next talked to B on the phone, he said, after B and the woman were asked to leave the bar because they were groping each other.  “Please give me the car key because I want to drop off the girl,” O recalled his friend telling him.  But when O went to hand over the key, he said, B instead told him to chauffer the vehicle because that’s what the woman wanted. His intention was to drop her off at her place, he said, but the...
