After a woman testified she was sexually assaulted by two men while intoxicated and possibly drugged over the course of several hours in a bar on College St., a defence lawyer for one of the men suggested Monday that the sexual activity was “rough and forceful” but consensual.

The complainant, who testified by video from another room in the courthouse, firmly denied this. She repeated that she could only remember “bits and pieces” of the night and rejected the defence lawyer’s assertion that she actually had a reasonably good memory of the sexual activity that took place.

Enzo DeJesus Carrasco, 34, and Gavin 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.

The jury has heard MacMillan was the owner of the College Street Bar and DeJesus Carrasco was the manager.

At issue is whether the complainant consented to sexual acts and whether she had the capacity to consent.

Her identity is covered by a publication ban.

The complainant, who was 24 at the time and was visiting Toronto, has testified she can recall only bits and pieces of the period between when she arrived at the bar at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 14, 2016 and when she left the bar with DeJesus Carrasco at 6 a.m. the next day. The complainant has testified she has a limited memory of what happened when she was at DeJesus Carrasco’s home that morning, but remembers that he raped her.

The jury has seen several hours of security videos from the bar, which show the alleged sexual assaults. The videos do not have audio.

A doctor called by the Crown as an expert witness has testified that the complainant appeared to be extremely intoxicated, unable to support her own weight, and appeared to be slipping in and out of consciousness prior to and during some of the sexual acts seen on the video.

During cross-examination, MacMillan’s lawyer Sean Robichaud suggested to the complainant that she had told MacMillan, in the presence of DeJesus Carrasco and immediately before sexual activity happened, that she wanted to have a threesome with them.

“I would never have said that,” the complainant responded. “I would have never wanted a threesome.”

Robichaud suggested she said wanted to have “polyamorous activity” with the two men. The complainant said this was not true and that she was in a monogamous relationship at the time.

She also rejected Robichaud’s suggestions that she repeatedly indicated that she wanted to be sexually dominated.

“You made it very clear through your words, gestures and what you communicated to them, both during the activity and immediately prior, was that you wanted to play the role of a submissive in a (submissive-dominant) situation,” Robichaud told her.

The complainant said she “very much disagreed with that” and said she would never want that “in any way possible.”

She denied that she “led the tone for the sexual activity” throughout the evening, as Robichaud suggested.

“The only thing I remember is that Gavin wanted me to call him names,” she said.

She also denied that she wanted MacMillan to film the sexual activity.

Earlier Monday, the complainant testified that the man she was dating at the time found some photos and video on her phone from that night about two weeks later. She said had no idea they were there. She said he left angry after seeing them, and that she deleted them in a panic, then called the police and gave them her phone in the hope that they could recover it.

Robichaud suggested she deleted the video because it shows that she wanted to be filmed. She denied this.

On Monday morning, the complainant described how she first reported what happened to the friend she was staying with on her visit to Toronto, and then to the police.

She said when she finally got to her friend’s home she sat down on the couch and felt like she was frozen.

Her friend came out of his room and asked if she wanted coffee. She didn’t reply.

“It felt like everything was kind of drowned out … like I couldn’t really hear him properly,” she said. “It felt like I was in a different place, sitting there frozen and I didn’t know how I was going to go about telling him what happened … it didn’t really even process in my own brain what happened.”

She suddenly broke down, started crying and blurted out to him what she could remember, though she could barely form coherent sentences, she said.

He said they should call an ambulance and the police.

She said everything that day went by really fast and really slow at the same time.

She didn’t want to tell anyone what happened, and just wanted to be alone, she said. She felt extremely tired, extremely sick, and was panicked and afraid. She was thinking about having to say what happened over and over again, about her family knowing what happened, about having to go through the whole criminal justice process, she said.

However, she did speak to the 911 operator and then paramedics, she said. She then went to a hospital, where a sexual assault examination was done, she said.

She said she didn’t realize how badly her bruised knees hurt until she was at the hospital. There was also bruising that looked like finger marks on her arms and upper thighs, as well as bruises around her neck and on her stomach, she said.

Late that night, she went to a police station to make a statement, although she was exhausted and had not slept, she said. The statement ended at 1:40 a.m. on Dec. 16, 2016 and she left the station with her parents.

For the next month, she said, she just sat on the sofa at her parents’ home and didn’t want to talk to anyone.

She said she felt ashamed of what happened.

“I felt like I could have done something. I kept running through my brain all the things I could have done,” she said. She kept trying and failing to remember more about what happened that night, beyond the fragments, she said.

She had nightmares and would wake up screaming in a cold sweat, she said. She also became extremely depressed, she said. She said she used to run marathons. Now, she said, her knees ache as a result of the assault, and she has lockjaw, which causes her jaw to stiffen up.

The trial continues.
