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.

Overview

  • 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.
