A SOUTHAMPTON club promoter forced two women to strip to their underwear and take part in a sex game before raping one, a court heard.

The prosecution claim however that the woman was not the first to be raped by Reggi Said. About ten years earlier, he had assaulted a naked student asleep on his sofa, it is alleged.

Prosecutor Matthew Jewell told Southampton Crown Court that in 2000 Said met the student who was a dancer.

They and a friend of his went back to his flat where she wound up naked after having sex with the other man.

After he had gone into the kitchen, she fell asleep and then woke to find someone having sex with her and then realised Said was on top of her.

Mr Jewell said that in 2005, he assaulted another dancer, who he had known for a couple of years.

One night she got into his car and after being plied with alcohol, went back to what she thought was his flat, where she saw him taking lines of cocaine. She woke up naked in his bed and he told her how she had wanted to party with him and had taken two grams of coke.

In interview, he told police that on both occasions there had been sex stopping short of intercourse, which was fully consensual. On neither occasion was he prosecuted.

Mr Jewell said that last February, he threatened two women unless they took cocaine at his flat where they had a substantial amount to drink and took part in a truth or dare game.

After one had fallen asleep, he took the second girl into his room on the pretext of talking about work but there he removed her underwear and had sex with her.

In a prepared statement, he said the women had helped themselves to the drugs and sex had been consensual. “I am shocked by the allegations. I have not done anything wrong.”

Said, of Lower Banister Road, Southampton, denies two counts of rape, two of supplying drugs and one of sexual assault.
