An alleged gang rapist was accused of “terrorizing” a drunken, stoned woman at the centre of a sexual assault trial.

Crown attorney Rick Nathanson suggested to College St. bar owner Gavin MacMillan that the alleged victim was held captive by threats and forced to sexually satisfy him and his bar manager Enzo De Jesus Carrasco.

“None of this was what she wanted, but it was all about you and Enzo and she was just disposable,” suggested Nathanson.

“I disagree,” said MacMillan.

The two men have pleaded not guilty to gang sexual assault, forcible confinement and administering a stupefying substance to the woman.

MacMillan testified she was the instigator of an all-night BDSM orgy inside his establishment and pointed to surveillance video showing her smiling and compliant during sexual acts as proof.

Nathanson said the woman, who was staggering and passed out drunk earlier on the December 2016 evening, snorted cocaine supplied by the accused.

Thus, while she appeared to be “smiling and euphoric,” Nathanson, said, she was still a drugged prisoner.

MacMillan disagreed, saying the woman twice freely walked upstairs and outside of the bar and “on her own accord, returned and she could have left at any time.”

Nathanson quoted Carrasco’s earlier text messages to MacMillan where she was described as “dead, dead, dead” and she’s “too f—ed to go to Oasis,” suggesting both men knew she was in no shape to leave, resist or assert herself.

“You are so dead wrong,” replied MacMillan.

Nathanson said the woman was in a weakened state and physically overpowered by two men who threatened, terrorized and forced her into all-night sex with them.

“I didn’t terrorize her. There were no threats,” said MacMillan, who testified earlier that she accosted him and Carrasco for a BDSM orgy with her as the submissive and MacMillan the dominant partner.

MacMillan portrayed her as a femme fatale who realized her sexual fantasies with them after drinking alcohol and snorting cocaine.

“She was not only consenting — she was leading, telling me what she wanted to do and she wanted to be filmed,” testified MacMillan.

The alleged victim testified earlier that she never wanted sexual relations with either MacMillan or Carrasco but has a limited memory of the night.

The trial resumes Wednesday with Carrasco testifying in his own defence.
