Rapper Slowthai Accused of Raping Two Women at 2021 After-Show Party

The Grammy-nominated artist and a co-defendant deny charges of rape and sexual assault, claiming all encounters were consensual.

Tyron Frampton, known as Slowthai, and Alex Blake-Walker are on trial for allegedly raping two women at a house party in Oxford on September 8, 2021.
Prosecutors allege the defendants isolated the women, disregarded their lack of consent, and coordinated their actions during the assaults.
One complainant, a fan of Slowthai, was added to the VIP list after meeting him at a restaurant prior to his performance at The Bullingdon music venue.
Both defendants deny the charges, asserting that all sexual activity was consensual and influenced by the intoxicated state of those involved.
The trial, set to last three weeks, will examine claims of coercion, the role of celebrity, and the defendants’ stipulation of 'no phones and no boys' before attending the party.
