Two Italian postgraduate students who filmed each other raping a woman in a nightclub and dumped her in the toilet before high-fiving each other are facing jail.

Ferdinando Orlando, 25, and Lorenzo Costanzo, 26, attacked the 23-year-old at the Toy Room Club in Soho, just six minutes after meeting her on the dancefloor.

They were later seen in disturbing CCTV footage, hugging and high-fiving each other moments after the attack.

The woman was passed between the two men, each taking turns in kissing her.

She was then dragged to a maintenance room and raped twice by each leaving her needing surgery.

After the 16 minute attack, they held up her limp body, rearranged her dress and hid her alone in the toilets before running off.

The students claimed the woman consented but prosecutor Allison Hunter said she was too drunk to agree to what took place on February 25, 2017.

The victim had been drinking since 11am to celebrate a friend's birthday and told police she was a 'ten,' on a scale of drunkenness from one to ten after the attack.

Orlando and Lorenzo, both from Italy, were both found guilty of oral and vaginal rape by a jury at Isleworth Crown Court.

They will return for sentence on a date to be set.

Both men had admitted watching their attack back on a mobile phone while making lewd gestures and re-enacting what they had done to the woman.

Their victim was not found by staff until an hour later and was eventually escorted outside where she described being in extreme pain and was barely able to hold herself upright.

CCTV showed the pair breaking off the locks to the maintenance room before throwing her inside and attacking her in the darkened room.

It was only a year later when Costanzo returned to the UK to watch a football match in London that he was arrested at Heathrow Airport and taken into custody.

Following Costanzo's arrest, Orlando contacted the police and flew back by appointment where he was arrested.

Orlando had claimed he flirted with the woman and they exchanged compliments, but she insisted she had no memory of their conversation.

She agreed CCTV showed them kissing passionately, but denied groping Orlando between the legs.

Orlando is studying a postgraduate degree in International Law while Costanzo is taking a postgraduate masters degree in Business and Management.

Detective sergeant Rebecca Woodsford said: "Today's result is the best possible outcome from a truly traumatic experience for the victim, who suffered severe injuries which resulted in her suspecting she may have been raped.

"Her discovery prompted the police investigation where the attack by these two men was identified.

"Costanzo and Orlando thought that they could attack a vulnerable victim, brag about it and then get away with it. They were very wrong and will now pay the price for their actions."

Christina Smith of the CPS said: "These two rapists have at every turn denied responsibility for their sickening actions.

"They took advantage of a vulnerable woman, who had clearly lost the capacity to consent to sexual activity.

"They ushered her into a room, raped her, discarded her and then ran away from the scene of their crime in callous celebration.

"The victim has shown immense courage in coming forward and we hope these convictions provide her with some comfort.

"We hope this serves as a very strong reminder that anyone who takes advantage of another who, for whatever reason, is unable to consent faces prosecution for their actions."

Orlando and Lorenzo were both convicted of two counts of rape each and will return for sentencing on a date to be set.
