An Ottawa couple testified in court Friday that they both passed out after accepting a drink from a man on trial for drugging and sexually assaulting 14 women, only to later learn to their horror of an explicit video of them on the accused's phone.

Philip Wilson, 33, has pleaded not guilty to 45 charges including sexual assault, aggravated assault, and administering a noxious drug in relation to 14 different women over a period of time between 2014 and 2015.

Four women who testified this week — who can't be identified due to a publication ban on their names — either worked in bars in the ByWard Market or had close friends who were employed there.

The women all testified about the close knit community of bartenders and servers from the market establishments and how it was fairly common for many of them to party together after a late-night shift with alcohol and drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy. One male witness told the court that Wilson was a "regular" on the bar scene and he had a reputation as a known drug dealer.

The alleged incidents from testimony this week all took place at Wilson's apartment which he shared with his girlfriend, who also worked in a bar.

In each of the women's testimonies, a pattern emerges: they allege the accused slipped them a "date rape drug" and then sexually assaulted them, and then only later discover the accused allegedly photographed or recorded video of them in explicit poses.

Couple both went to apartment

What's unique about Friday's testimony at the Ontario Superior Court trial was that in this instance, the woman went to the accused's apartment with her boyfriend.

She testified she knew Wilson because she and her boyfriend worked at the same bar as Wilson's girlfriend. One late night in April 2014, after drinking together they decided to head over to Wilson's apartment to continue partying.

The woman said she'd been drinking wine before she arrived at Wilson's and once there she smoked some marijuana and had a drink mixed for her by Wilson.

She told the court she has no memory of what happened after consuming the drink but recalled waking up the next day in her bed with a pair of pants on that weren't her own.

"I had a headache and was nauseous. I assumed it was a hangover," she added.

'I don't want that image in my memory'

On cross-examination, defence lawyer Trevor Brown asked her if she recalled using cocaine and ecstasy that night.

"I wouldn't rule it out," she replied, but added "I don't have any recollection of it."

The woman denied she would have ever agreed to consume GHB, known as the "date rape" drug.

"GHB has never sounded attractive to me," she testified.

She told the court she had never looked at the sexually explicit photos taken of her that police seized from Wilson's electronic devices.

"I don't want to see them because I don't want that image in my memory," she replied.

Passed out after drink

The woman's boyfriend told the court on the night of the incident he worked a 16-hour shift and then had a few drinks with his partner before accepting an invitation to Wilson's apartment.

He said he took a "few puffs" of a marijuana joint and accepted a drink made by Wilson but doesn't remember if he finished it.

"I don't really remember much of anything after that," he added. But then he clarified his answer, saying he remembers his girlfriend was "passed out before I conked out."

The man told the Crown he's tried cocaine several times before and only once tried ecstasy but he'd never tried "nor am I interested in trying" GHB.

He explained he'd tried the other drugs in a controlled situation with people he trusted.

"Were Wilson and (his girlfriend) people you trusted?" Cunningham asked him.

"I knew them but I wouldn't want to try that with them," he said. "I'd never been to their apartment before."

Boyfriend appears in video on phone

Asked what he remembered after he first woke up the man replied "the sun was up when I came to and [my girlfriend] was still passed out on the floor."

He said he found the whole situation odd and just wanted to get out of there, so he called a taxi and carried his girlfriend down to the cab because she still wasn't conscious.

The Crown then played a video seized by police from Wilson. On the video were the witness, his girlfriend and Wilson.

The video was only shown to the judge, lawyers, and the accused from laptops in front of them. However the audio was played in the courtroom and loud music could be heard, with a male voice repeating a phrase "slap it here."

The man told the Crown that both he and Wilson touched his girlfriend in a sexual manner.

'It's wrenching my stomach every time I see it'

In the courtroom, Cunningham asked the man to describe his behavior in the video.

"I don't appear to be aware of my surroundings," he said. "I'm dancing in circles and it's not a situation I would be comfortable with."

The man then offered "I'm not comfortable with people handling us like that and someone touching her like that is inappropriate."

Cunningham asked the man how he felt watching the video.

"It's wrenching my stomach every time I see it," he replied. "I feel terrible for (my girlfriend) and that I wasn't conscious enough to put a stop to it."

The Crown is scheduled to call one more alleged victim on Monday before closing its case.
