A young man has had rape charges dropped after security camera videos surface.
Armaan Premjee was charged with rape in early May after a night out at an off-campus bar, but he says security video from the night of April 1st taken from Banditos proves he’s innocent. “When I saw the videos I was very relieved that there was proof to substantiate my side of the story,” he said. Premjee said she kept pulling him closer and after several minutes she led him by the hand out of the bar. On the sidewalk, Premjee said the girl in question introduced him to her roommate while the video shows her making sexual gestures behind his back.
The defendant claims there is no actual evidence a rape occurred that night, but that police were informed that the woman in question was heavily intoxicated, and jumped to rape conclusions. The next morning the LAPD turned up at his door and started asking him questions about the night. Premjee said the “victim” never reported the incident to police, but he was charged with rape after he said her roommates gave officer’s his name when they were concerned about her level of intoxication.
