Enzo DeJesus Carrasco lied repeatedly to police two days after an alleged gang sexual assault at the College Street Bar, including claiming that he didn’t know if the security videos at the bar were working that night, the Crown suggested in cross-examination Tuesday afternoon.

Prosecutor Rick Nathanson said DeJesus Carrasco can be seen on the security video footage in the early hours of Dec. 15, 2016 gesturing that his co-accused Gavin MacMillan should turn himself and the complainant so that the security cameras could better capture the sexual activity.

“You knew it was recording,” Nathanson said, suggesting DeJesus Carrasco didn’t want the police to look for the video.

DeJesus Carrasco said he told police on the morning of Dec. 17: “Yeah, they aren’t working I think” because the cameras hadn’t captured a suspected theft a few days prior. He stressed he used the word “think” and said he did not touch the security video before the police seized it.

DeJesus Carrasco, 34, and MacMillan, 44, have both pleaded not guilty to charges of gang sexual assault, forcible confinement and drugging with intent to overpower. DeJesus Carrasco has pleaded not guilty to two additional charges of sexual assault.

All the charges are linked to one complainant, who has testified that she can only recall bits and pieces about what happened over the night of Dec. 14 and 15, 2016. She said she remembers being raped simultaneously and being forced to perform oral sex at the bar, and being raped by DeJesus Carrasco at his apartment on the morning of Dec. 15, 2016. MacMillan was the owner of the College Street Bar at the time and DeJesus Carrasco was the manager.

A jury will have to decide if the complainant consented to the sexual activity, which spanned several hours and is mostly documented by the bar’s security cameras, and if she had the capacity to consent.

The Crown alleges the complainant was unconscious or in and out of consciousness during some of the sexual activity.

Both men have testified all the sexual activity that took place that night was consensual and that the complainant was actively participating, able to speak clearly and could have left at any time.

During cross-examination, DeJesus Carrasco was asked by police: “Did you see her consume any of it?” in reference to the complainant ingesting cocaine that night, Nathanson said, reading from a transcript of the statement.

DeJesus Carrasco told the officer: “I think she did a line that’s all, no more than that.”

Nathanson said the videos show DeJesus Carrasco was present for the complainant doing seven or eight lines of cocaine over the night.

DeJesus Carrasco said he was nervous and did not have a translator when speaking to the police. He said he understood the question to be how much cocaine did he give to the complainant.

DeJesus Carrasco is testifying during the trial with the assistance of a Spanish interpreter. He does not have the questions translated from English, but has his answers in Spanish translated.

Nathanson suggested his English was good enough to communicate with the complainant and ensure she was consenting to being sexually dominated, and that he did understand the question from the police officer.

Earlier on Tuesday, DeJesus Carrasco testified about leaving the bar with the complainant shortly before 6 a.m. and going to his home on Gerrard St.

The complainant has testified she couldn’t recall much about the cab ride other than feeling tired and dizzy, but said that she was under the impression she was going to her friend’s place, not to DeJesus Carrasco’s.

He said he told her he was heading home and she told him she didn’t have anywhere to go because the friend she was staying with was not responding to her text messages. He said he hailed a cab on College St. and she got into it, and then he did.

While in the cab, he said, she asked how MacMillan could have left that morning without saying goodbye to her.

“Who did he think he was. Did he think because he had money he could treat people this way?” he said she told him.

DeJesus Carrasco said she suggested having sex with him at his home.

He said she willingly went with him into his basement apartment where there were two people sitting in the living room.

He said he gave her a towel so she could clean up, he made her breakfast and they had consensual sex.

He said they discussed the bruises that could be seen on her knees.

“She said look at my knees, what am I going to tell my boyfriend,” he testified. “I said you can make sure he doesn’t see them until they get better.”

He said that she said: “There is no chance he won’t know what it’s all about.”

He said they went to sleep and when she wanted to leave he gave her money for a cab.

The trial continues.
