Charges laid after pizza store rape
Police have charged a man and three teenagers with drugging a woman before taking it in turns to rape her at a pizza shop in Sydney's south.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said the pair were at the pizza shop about 8pm that Saturday when they met another 17-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy and a 38-year-old man.
Police will allege in court that the three males who met them were known to the 17-year-old boy who was originally with the alleged victim.
The teenage boys cannot be named for legal reasons. The 38-year-old is Ricardo Audish, from Elizabeth Hills in Sydney's west.
During the night, police allege a drug was put in the woman's wine glass.
"Police will allege the woman was given an unknown substance and, while under the influence, she was sexually assaulted a number of times by the boys and man," the spokeswoman said.
Police will allege in court that the sexual assault occurred at the rear of the pizza shop, between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
The males are then accused of driving the woman to nearby Riverwood several hours later and dropping her in the centre of the suburb.
A passerby called triple zero after finding the woman disoriented on the road.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the woman at the scene, before taking her to Liverpool Hospital, where staff called police.
Officers from the St George Local Area Command launched an investigation and, on Thursday, arrested the four males.
They were taken to Liverpool police station and were each charged with aggravated sexual assault in company, and refused bail by police.
Mr Audish did not apply for bail when the matter was briefly mentioned before Liverpool Local Court on Friday. His case returns to court in March.
The teenagers are due to appear at a children's court on Friday.
