In a police interview he claimed the woman asked him for sex but it was later found he had done a Google search for the definition of rape
A married financial consultant has been jailed for eight years after he slung a drunk teenager over his shoulders before dragging her into an alleyway to rape her.
Horrifying CCTV from the end of a night out shows the moments before Sanjay Naker attacked the 18-year-old.
The young woman was thrown out of the Number One nightclub on Tooley Street, London Bridge for being too drunk.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers consultant Naker gave the teenager a piggy back before carrying her to an alley. The married 28-year-old holds the woman’s hand and pulls her in the opposite direction to which she’s walking. He tries to kiss her but she pushes him away.
Inner London Crown Court heard that the City worker then pulled his victim into The Queens Walk where he raped her and sexually assaulted her multiple times. Security guards found the victim unconscious on the ground with her underwear pulled down.
Naker was arrested the following day and charged on November 28 2017.
In a police interview he claimed the woman asked him for sex but it was later discovered he Googled the definition of rape in the following days.
The victim said: “I do not go clubbing very often and I don’t drink that much.
“It was like I was drugged or something and my head hurt so I thought I might have hit it at some point.
“I did not want to have sex. I was on my period and I was also seeing people, and I’m not one to just have a one night stand.”
Sentencing Naker to eight years in prison and life on the sex offenders’ register, Judge Freya Newberry told Naker: “If you formed a view that the woman wanted to have sex with you, you were very much mistaken.
“It was quite clear that you decided that you wanted to have sex with her and she had no recollection of what happened but you saw an opportunity.
“It was a mixture of your own desire and arrogance regardless of any intoxication on your part.”
Investigating officer, detective constable Aidan Kersley, from the Met’s child abuse and sexual offences command, said: “Naker deliberately targeted his victim as someone intoxicated and vulnerable.
“After talking to her for a matter of minutes, he managed to drag her to a secluded area where he raped her. She has no memory of what happened.
“Naker then brazenly gave security guards his name, confident that the victim’s intoxication would protect him. However, we were able to prove she had been raped and build a strong case against him – the simple fact was, she was too drunk to give her consent.
“This case shows that no matter what the circumstances, we will work tirelessly to bring rapists and sexual offenders to justice. Anyone who sadly finds themselves in similar circumstances should take courage from this case and the conviction we have seen today. Our officers are experienced, highly trained and treat victims with the sensitivity and compassion they deserve.”
