KEY POINTS:
An 18-year-old woman was sexually violated by five Petone Mongrel Mob members repeatedly over two hours, a Wellington court was told today.
All five forced the woman to have oral sex, either separately or in pairs, crown prosecutor Jo Murdoch alleged to a jury in Wellington District Court.
The woman was also raped four times and there were attempts to have anal intercourse with her, the crown said.
The men - Terrence Michael Toman, 19, Clifton Rogers, 29, Kereti Tamahanna TeHuna, 25, Thomas Lachlan Karangaroa, 31, and David Edward Martini, 26 - all pleaded not guilty to the 14 counts against them.
Toman was charged with kidnapping, sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and rape. Clifton and TeHuna were charged jointly with sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection, rape and attempted sexual violation, while both were charged individually with unlawful sexual connection.
TeHuna was also charged jointly with Karangaroa of rape and attempted sexual violation, while Karangaroa was charged individually with two counts of unlawful sexual connection.
Martini was charged with rape and unlawful sexual connection.
The charges are being heard before Judge Peter Butler and a jury of nine men and two women. One juror was discharged before the hearing started this afternoon.
Ms Murdoch said the offences were all alleged to have occurred on March 7 last year at Petone in the Hutt Valley.
Before the incidents, the woman, who has automatic name suppression, had accompanied her ex-partner, who had put her hand through a window, to hospital.
She told the court that as she was walking back to her brother's flat, she saw a group of Mongrel Mob members in a carpark near a block of flats in Jackson St.
She said she approached them to tell Rogers that his sister was in hospital.
She said Toman had put his arms around her and forcibly led her to one of the flats where he locked a bedroom door and forced her to perform oral sex.
She said she had asked him to let her go, but said he replied: "Not until I am finished."
Ms Murdoch alleged that over the next two hours the five men repeatedly "used her for their sexual gratification".
The woman did not consent, she said.
"The crown says there is no room, under any reasonable grounds, for the accused to believe she did consent."
The complainant will continue her evidence tomorrow. The trial is set down for two weeks.
