The woman allegedly woke up naked in the hotel room with no recollection of the events before, asking the man beside her what had happened to her.
Instead, she allegedly passed out after drinking with her ex-colleague and his friend in a hotel room and woke up in pain, suspecting she had been raped.
The two foreign men went on trial on Monday Sep 2 for charges of rape or sexual assault, molestation and obstructing justice by deleting messages to each other.
A gag order on their identities and the victim's identity meant that key information identifying the men were redacted from court documents, including their names, their professions, their nationalities and other details that might identify the victim. The prosecution had tried to get the court to lift the gag order on the two men's identities last week, but ultimately failed. The first accused, a year-old man, is contesting three charges of molestation, sexual assault and obstructing justice.
The second accused, a year-old man, is on trial for six charges including rape, molestation, possessing an intimate image and obstructing justice. The court heard that the alleged victim had previously worked under the first accused, A, and continued to stay in touch occasionally. She did not know the second accused, B, personally but was aware of his "professional reputation". According to a set of facts agreed on by the prosecution and defence, the alleged victim asked A when he was flying to Singapore on Feb 23, She said she would also be in the country and wondered if they were taking the same flight.
