A surveillance camera captured the horrifying moment when a student carrying an unconscious young woman in his arms takes her home to rape her.
Preet Vikal, 20, first took a ‘trophy photo’ of the victim lying in bed before attacking him, the Daily Mail has learned.
The engineering student carried the young girl to her room, sometimes in her arms, sometimes on her shoulders, – following meeting her ‘desperately drunk’ outside a concert hall, in Cardiff in the United Kingdom.
Prosecutor Matthew Cobbe said Mr Vikal and the victim, who did not know each other, went out on the night of June 3 last year with different groups of friends.
“The victim had been drinking to excess and by the end of the night was obviously in an inebriated state,” he said.
The victim’s memories are vague, but she knew that she and her friends had started drinking at their house before going to a bar.
She mightn’t sit up straight and had difficulty speaking. At some point, she fell in the women’s restroom.
A man who first helped her picked up the young woman’s phone to warn her friends that she should not be left alone in her condition.
The victim then left the bar with her friends.
However, outside, she encountered Preet Vikal, an engineering student who had been drinking at the venue.
Vikal joined the victim’s group as they walked along a street. He and the victim then got ahead of the rest of the group.
The South Wales Police Department has shared the horrific video where Preet is seen carrying the victim in his arms and then on his shoulders.
Vikal took the victim to her bedroom and took what the prosecutor described as a “trophy photo” of her on her bed.
Although the victim was not naked, the photo was revealing. The victim did not remember the rape, but she remembered waking up naked next to the young man in his bed.
“She was bleeding…She found her clothes folded, got out of bed and dressed,” Mr Cobbe said.
In the morning, the victim asked for the accused’s Instagram address and, following leaving, she messaged him asking if they had had sex and, if so, if they had sex. were protected.
Mr. Vikal replied that they had indeed had sex, but that they had not used any protection.
The same day, the victim reported his attacker to the police, who arrested him.
The next day he gave a statement saying the victim was “consenting”.
Mr Cobbe said it was clear, however, that the victim was too drunk to consent to sex.
The accused initially pleaded not guilty before finally admitting the rape on the day of the trial.
For five months, the victim didn’t want to go out at night and said she still felt guilty regarding the incident.
“I now have a boyfriend and every little thing had to be discussed…even little things like putting his hand on my leg,” she explained.
Mr. Vikal was sent to an institution for young offenders for a period of six years and nine months. He will serve two-thirds of his sentence in custody and the rest on parole.
