• He denies the allegations and claims he has consensual sex with both women 
• Crown's case is the women were so affected by alcohol they could not consent 

A man accused of raping two drunk women in a Bristol hotel after following them to their room while high on cocaine said their 'rough' threesome was consensual, a court heard yesterday.

Callum Kenny, 24, was accused of raping the women when they returned to their Ibis hotel room in Bristol after a night out on October, 28, 2018.

A jury was told Kenny, from St Austell in Cornwall, joined the women in their hotel room after he noticed they were drunk in the foyer.

He denied the allegations and claimed he had consensual sex with both women.

Kenny told police one of the women invited him in to their room and he had sex with her before the other became involved and the three had sex together.

But it is the Crown's case that the women were so affected by alcohol they were not able to chose whether to agree to have sex or not. 

Sarah Regan, prosecuting, told Bristol Crown Court the women booked a room at the hotel and went out for the evening. The pair drank wine, sangria and gin in bars before dancing in a club, she said.

Miss Regan said the next thing one of the women could remember was looking out the door of the bathroom and seeing a naked man having what looked like 'rough sex' with her friend in the bedroom.

When it was quiet the woman came out of the bathroom and her friend asked her if she had brought the man back, the jury was told.

Miss Regan said: 'The woman thought her friend had brought the man back.'

But the friend who was with the man thought it was the other woman, who was in the bathroom, that brought the man back. 

'Her friend said she (the woman in the bathroom) was with him.

'The woman had absolutely no recall of having sex with the man - she thought her friend was joking.'

The court heard police acquired CCTV from the hotel which showed the women entering the premises in the early hours.

Miss Regan said: 'The two women were clearly drunk.'

The jury was shown footage of the women being given two extra room keys and going to their room.

There was also footage of Kenny returning to his room, earlier, before he left his room door slightly ajar and tried the door handles of some other rooms before sitting in reception.

Footage then captures how he noticed the two women, followed them to their room and went inside with them. 

Police were able to track down Kenny after seeing him on the hotel CCTV.

He said he and a friend were in Bristol to watch a football match but he decided to leave their hotel room after his friend turned in.

Kenny said he had a threesome with the women and after they slept he had more sex with one of the women when her friend was in the bathroom.

He admitted drinking alcohol on the night in question, as well as taking under a gram of cocaine.

He said he had consensual, unprotected sex with one before the other was an equally willing participant.

The case continues.
