Sex Attacker Told His Victim He Was Taking Her To A Saturdays Concert, Wheeled Her Unconscious Body Into Hotel Where He Raped Her For Nine Hours





A businessman who told a woman he was taking her to a Saturdays concert instead drugged her, put her in a wheelchair and pushed her a hotel where he raped her for nine hours.

Lloyd Phillips, 48, plied his 22-year-old victim with a cocktail of drugs and alcohol that left her suffering seizures as he drove her to Wembley Stadium.

Phillips owned a luxury Sunseeker boat, which he bought with the £10,000-a-week takings from his legal-high and gig ticket shop.

He was well-known on the social scene in his home city of Southampton, where he impressed women with his spending and lavish lifestyle.

But he has now been jailed for 11 years for his depraved attack, which left his victim suffering nightmares and feeling 'sick'.

The court heard he picked her up from her home, and gave her a capsule and a can of the high-alcohol 'Crunk' juice to wash it down.

The drug was found to be controlled substance BZP, a stimulant that can trigger epileptic seizures and fits.

It had such an effect on the woman that she was left with little memory of the car journey to the hotel near London's Wembley Stadium.

Footage from a CCTV camera shows him pushing the woman into the hotel, as she slumps forward in the chair, with his bag resting on her legs.

He is then seen wheeling her towards a lift and their room, where he carried out the catalogue of abuse throughout the night.

The woman, who had once regarded Phillips as a friend, lay motionless on the bed, unaware of the sickening attack, Harrow Crown Court heard.

Aside from a brief memory of a clock that read '3.48' and a feeling that she was 'contorted', the woman had no memory of what happened.

She woke confused, with Phillips telling her they had engaged in a night of consensual sex, the jury heard.

It was some 24 hours later that the effects of the drug began to wear off and the full, horrifying impact of what had happened to her started to emerge.

Feeling ill, unable to use the lavatory, and with her tongue and her arms bruised, she went to hospital where doctors called police.

Phillips was convicted of two counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault.
