Police in Britain believe that a woman being raped in a toilet may have been photographed by two men using mobile phones.
Detectives in Sussex asked the men to contact them immediately and warned they may release CCTV footage of them, taken minutes before the brutal attack at a pub in Brighton, in a bid to trace them.
A 27-year-old Sussex woman was seen entering the men's toilets with two men at the Toad In The Picture House pub in the city on Saturday night.
Minutes later two other men were seen to enter the toilets.
It emerged yesterday that a fifth man who was also in the toilets at the same time witnessed what happened.
He was traced by police and led them to believe that the woman was raped and that two other men may have recorded images of the crime on their mobiles.
Det Insp Peter Laverick said yesterday that police believe the two men who entered the toilets after the woman did use new technology phones to take either photographs or video footage of the rape. But he stressed that it was possible they did not realise they were witnessing a rape.
The woman was found collapsed by security staff at the pub in East Street during a routine check of the toilet. Police also said yesterday that they believed the woman may have been given a date rape drug. - (PA)
