Valentin Krzyzyk (pictured) was cleared of raping a woman in his Battersea flat today

A French businessman was cleared of raping a woman at his home in London - just weeks after he was acquitted of sexual assault.

Valentin Krzyzyk, 27, was said to have raped the woman in his bedroom after they shared a taxi to his luxury flat in Battersea from the Maddox Club in Mayfair in May 2015.

The female said she fled Krzyzyk’s apartment in Queenstown Road without her bra or top, telling police: 'I just wanted to get out.'

Just weeks before, Krzyzyk was accused of sexually assaulting a woman after splashing out £6,000 on Dom Perignon at the Cirque Le Soir in central London in December 2016.

He was said to have lifted up her skirt before slapping her hard on the buttocks and groping her crotch.

The complainant gave evidence claiming that she was hysterical and crying after the alleged incident - yet CCTV showed her carrying on drinking with friends before eventually complaining to security, where Mr Krzyzyk is then thrown out the club.

The row was caught on CCTV at London's Cirque Le Soir nightclub, but the footage was not handed over to the accused's defence team. He was cleared in January

In the latest case, the female complainant said she had blacked out and woke up in his bedroom with her clothes all over the floor.

She told jurors: ‘I quite forcefully said no to him. After that I pushed him away and that is the last thing a remember.

‘Then I blacked out and when I woke up my items of clothing were all round the room.

‘I was trying to get my belongings together but part way through he came back into the room. He was holding the clothes. He said: “But won’t you want these?” He said this with a smirk.

‘I felt an urgent need to lie down. I just blacked out and I could not get up. I should have been more cautious. I thought the defendant was of a respectable character.

‘The defendant said he managed restaurants and he sounded business like.

‘He had pulled my dress up to around my breasts so it was more like a skirt.

‘I did not know what had happened to me. The only conscious part I know was that items of clothing had been removed.’

Krzyzyk insisted any sexual activity with the woman was consensual but denied they had full intercourse.

Ms Bahra told jurors the woman had made a previous allegation of rape to the police three months prior to this allegation.

She said: ‘You reported an allegation of rape to the police on 24 January 2015. You told police that on the 24 January you had been out with friends in a nightclub in London.

‘You consumed four or five drinks and some shots, you bought a round for £34.50 and from that point onward you couldn’t recollect what happened.

‘You said you woke up in a car with you knickers around you ankles and you had three males present in the car.’

Krzyzyk denied raping the woman and was acquitted of the charge against him at Southwark Crown Court today.
