An Egyptian asylum seeker accused of gang-raping a lone, drunk woman on Brighton beach claimed he filmed the assault to gather evidence for police, a court has heard.
Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, said he was shocked when he saw two of his friends raping the woman behind a beach hut.
The 33-year-old woman has claimed she was dragged onto the beach and raped after a night out with friends in the seaside city on October 4 last year.
