Rape accused bouncer worked under fake name - court

Morenikeji Adewole, a 47-year-old security guard, stands trial for allegedly raping a 19-year-old woman near Heaven nightclub in London. The prosecution argues that Adewole worked illegally under a false identity, despite holding a tourist visa that prohibited employment in the UK. He faces accusations of taking advantage of the woman's apparent intoxication, with evidence suggesting she was too drunk to give consent. Adewole denies the allegations, claiming that their interaction was consensual and that he panicked when arrested, providing a false name to police. He testified that he met the complainant prior to the alleged incident and facilitated their encounter by offering her water.

The trial also uncovers the broader implications of illegal employment and the complexities surrounding consent in sexual situations. Adewole's case highlights the intersection of legal issues surrounding immigration, employment, and sexual consent. The trial continues as jurors deliberate on the evidence presented.
