Warning: This story deals with allegations of sexual assault and may be upsetting. Three young men caught on video whisking an intoxicated teen tourist from a Karangahape Rd bar to a secluded industrial carpark in the early hours of New Year’s Day last year have been found guilty of pack rape. The defendants - known as B, O and S due to continuing name suppression - took turns nervously standing in the dock in the High Court at Auckland this afternoon as the jury foreman read aloud the unanimous verdicts following roughly nine hours of deliberations that started yesterday. Justice Mathew Downs ordered the men, who had previously been on bail, to await sentencing in jail. That hearing is scheduled for May. The judge explained to jurors the concept of “vicarious trauma”, which he said could be triggered by the “exceptionally distressing evidence in this case” - especially the jury’s repeated viewings of CCTV footage that he said showed the rapes as they occurred. If it was any consolation, he added, “I consider your verdicts entirely commensurate with the evidence”. The two-and-a-half-week trial centred in large part around CCTV footage - both from outside Central Auckland’s crowded Family Bar and from the conversely empty Avondale carpark where the defendants’ van stopped for about 10 minutes that morning. Prosecutors and defence lawyers promoted vastly different interpretations of what the videos showed. “The idea that this young backpacker ... would want to be driven off to some dark, deserted part of the city ... to have sex with these three young men - it just defies logic,” Crown prosecutor Fiona Culliney told jurors during her closing address. “No reasonable, sober person could have believed she was consenting. They had no regard for her at all.” The 19-year-old was likely unconscious when the trio violated her, but at a minimum, she was so obviously drunk that she could not have consented, Culliney said. The complainant has only patchy memories of the night but appeared to be in agony as she described to a police interviewer how she woke up to find a man she didn’t know in the process of intercourse, while others in the vehicle spoke to each other in a language she didn’t recognise. All three men, ages 19 and 20 at the time of the offences, denied the rape charges, but for different reasons. B, whose DNA was found on the inside crotch of the complainant’s clothes, said he engaged in consensual sexual activity with the woman but did not have penetrative sex. O, whose DNA was found during a gynaecological exam of the victim, admitted to having sex with her but claimed it was she who propositioned him. S admitted he was also in the van but said he was asleep in the back row throughout the incident. DNA testing for him, which he seemed to encourage during an interview with police, was inconclusive. But a witness told police S had bragged later that morning about all three defendants having sex with a woman who was “too drunk”. Each defendant faced three counts of rape - one for being the principal offender and two for aiding or encouraging his co-defendants. B and O were found guilty of all three charges. Jurors found S guilty of a single charge, convicted of raping the woman himself but not of helping his mates. ‘Sinister turn’ The complainant recalled to authorities that, prior to her memories going blank, she had consumed a bottle of wine, two vodka drinks, a glass of prosecco and a Corona as she ushered in the New Year with friends from her hostel. At some point, she met B on the dancefloor at the K Rd bar and CCTV showed them kissing. That was consensual, prosecutors conceded, even though the complainant said she had no memory of it. But later, as the two exited the club, footage showed the woman swaying, stumbling and needing to be pulled up from the ground by B after sitting down with him.  Family Bar on Auckland Central's Karangahape Rd.
