A friend of former model Sophie Anderton was dumped on the pavement "like a rag doll" after being raped and beaten by a doorman at a top celebrity nightclub.
Bulgarian body-builder and part-time model Vasil Makaveev, 28, is accused of "luring" the drunken victim into the toilets after closing before sexually assaulting her.
Staggering back to the bar, staff at The Collection were alerted by her hysterical screams, but instead of calling for aid, they dragged her to the exit where she was "dumped unceremoniously on the street".
The venue in South Kensington, London, is popular hangout for Chelsea footballers and regularly welcomes "A-list celebrities, including Princes William and Harry, Angelina Jolie, Jay Z, Hugh Grant and Elton John.

A medical examination the following day found more than 20 bruises and abrasions on the victim's body. Traces of Makaveev's bodily fluid were also found on her underwear.
The petite beauty had spent the day in early June watching polo with friends at West London's exclusive Hurlingham Club before heading for drinks with Miss Anderton at The Collection.
She continued to drink white wine and champagne into the early hours and was the last person remaining at the club after saying goodbye to her friends.
It was after the doors closed that Makaveev "preyed" on the young woman said Lisa Wilding, prosecuting.
"We say this was a deliberate and calculated attack by a man who had responsibility for the welfare of everyone at the club, never mind a young, drunk, single girl," she said.
"He preyed on her vulnerability by virtue of her drunkenness seconds after her male companion had left and lured her into the privacy of the toilets."
She added: "The club was closed, it was empty. She was the only person left. We say he targeted her and lured her into the toilet and had his way with her."
Miss Wilding said the victim believed she was going to the toilets, which are not covered by CCTV, to snort cocaine with the bouncer.
