Partygoers told ‘orgy was happening’ at house where Slowthai is accused of rape

A court heard today that an “orgy was happening” at a house party where Slowthai and his friend are accused of raping two women.

The Grammy-nominated musician, whose real name is Tyron Frampton, 29, and his friend Alex Blake-Walker, 27, are currently on trial at Oxford Crown Court following allegations that they raped two women at a house party following a gig. On September 7, 2021, a court jury heard about Slowthai’s performance at The Bullingdon in Oxford.

Two women allegedly entered his tour bus after the performance, then made their way to a musician’s friend, Slowthai and Blake-Walker, who later joined him. The two women were allegedly raped by both Blake-Walker and Slowthai after they fled to the roof of the house.

The prosecution alleges that Slowthai raped the second woman twice while Blake-Walker was being encouraged by the first woman, and that Blake-Walker twice raped the first woman while the musician was. The woman is alleged to have raped by Slowthai, and the prosecution alleges that they both sexually assaulted her. They deny two women’s rape and one sexual assault charge in one incident.

Navinder Nangla, a stylist on the rapper’s tour and his friend, was at the party for around 10 minutes, after having smoked a cigarette in the garden, when he heard someone comment about what was allegedly occurring upstairs. Nangla, who was in the living room with others, told the court: “One girl had said she is a slag and another girl said ‘ there is an orgy happening’. Really, we didn’t take much notice of it.

He continued: “There was a lot shouting and screaming. She claimed that this girl was not intended to be here. Nangal claimed that he was unaware of the origin of the ‘orgy’ comment or the house’s room where it was supposed to have taken place. Nangla claimed on Monday that he had seen the rapper standing alone on the roof and that he appeared happy, content, and having fun.

Because the roof wasn’t very high, Nangla said he believes Frampton jumped or hopped off it. He claims there was a burst of shouting and swearing as he made his way to the front door with Frampton, with Nangla telling the court: “Some girls (were) shouting, saying `we have lost respect, just go, get out'”.

After the accused left the party, he said the atmosphere between them was “more confused than anything.”

Frampton, of Wellingborough Road, Northampton, and Blake-Walker, of Wallbutton Road, south-east London, deny three joint charges of rape and one of sexual assault against two women. After meeting Frampton in the Bullingdon bar following the performance, one of the complainants claimed to have been attacked on the roof of the house.

She claimed to have cheated on her boyfriend the day before and had consumed ketamine and cocaine with her friends. Slowthai, a musician, claimed that she had been consenting when she told the jury that she and him had engaged in sexual activity. He accepted that he and Blake-Walker ‘ “fist-bumped” but denied it was encouraging each other.
