A woman who says she was gang raped by three strangers in her home told a friend the next day her alleged attackers had been 'very rude' when she told them to leave the apartment.

Text exchanges between the woman and her friend were tendered this week in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court, where the three men are facing a joint rape trial.

Also on trial is a man the woman met on Tinder and arranged to meet for sex the night she was allegedly raped, but who is instead accused of leading three of his mates to her home. 

Omar El-Sayed, 25, Rami Katlan, 26 and Mohammed Ali, 21, have pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual intercourse without consent and two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company.

Adam Kabbout has pleaded not guilty to six counts of aggravated sexual assault in company over what took place in the woman's flat at Belmore in Sydney's south-west on April 16, 2022.

The 26-year-old did not have sex with the woman but the Crown says he encouraged the other three men to repeatedly rape her as part of a joint criminal enterprise.

El-Sayed, Katlin and Ali - none of whom had met the 23-year-old woman before they went to her flat - insist any sex they had with her was consensual.

The alleged rapes occurred in the early hours of a Saturday and the woman gave a version of what happened in a series of text messages sent to a friend on the Sunday.

The two women were meeting up that later that day and discussed preparations such as transport options and whether they would be wearing a full face of makeup. 

The friend sent a text saying someone had asked her to take 'snacks' to an event they were all attending, followed by four skull emojis. 

'There's Smthn I wanna tell u btw,' the woman then wrote.

'It's not a good thing. Smthn happened to me Friday night.'

Friend: 'What?'

Woman: 'I got raped.'

Friend: 'By who?'

The woman then described meeting Kabbout on Tinder some months earlier and how when he came over to her apartment that night she had taken a shower.

'And when I came out his friends were in my house,' she wrote.

'It's just been draining me lately and I didn't know who to tell or what to do. Sorry to tell u now hahahaahh bad timing.'

When the friend asked her how many men had come into her room the woman replied, '4 including him.'

'Only two actually f***ed me,' she wrote. 

'But when he came into the room he saw me crying and I told them to leave and they were very rude.' 

That night, Kabbout, El-Sayed, Katlan and another man had watched Souths beat the Bulldogs in a Good Friday NRL game at Olympic Park and Ali later joined them.

The woman, now 25, told a jury of nine men and five women on Wednesday that when Kabbout arrived at her home they both went straight to her bedroom.

After taking a shower the woman said she found Kabbout and four other men outside her bedroom. The fifth man had been at the football with the group and is not charged with any offence.

'I went back into my room and kind of closed the door,' she said. 'Adam came inside and I said, "Who are they? What are they doing here" and "I don't want them in here".'

The woman said Kabbout left her bedroom and she heard the men outside have a conversation in a language she did not understand.

Kabbout then came back into the bedroom with one of the group, she told the jury.

'He goes, like, "Suck him off",' she said.

'I moved closer to them and I said that I didn't want to and I didn't want to do anything but I was scared and he told me to just do it so I did.'

The woman said after Kabbout left the room she had intercourse with the man.

'I just remember I kept saying that I didn't want this, I didn't want to do this,' she said.

The woman said when she told Kabbout she wanted he men to leave he replied: 'Not yet.'

She told the jury a second man came into the room and raped her in a similar way to the first and that he was then followed by a third.

The woman said she was in tears while being allegedly raped by the second and third men and continued to protest about what was being done to her.

In the texts to her friend about 36 hours after the alleged rapes, the woman wrote 'Only two during the whole thing' then said of Kabbout, 'He'd come in and look for a bit.'

In her evidence, the woman said she had told her friend only two men had raped her because she was 'embarrassed'.

The woman told the jury of nine men and five women that after the alleged rapes she tried to find Kabbout on Snapchat but he had blocked her.

'I just wanted to see if we were still friends,' she said. 'I didn't try to contact him.'

The woman said four men including Kabbout had come into her room. 'Only two actually f***ed me,' she wrote. 'But when he came into the room he saw me crying and I told them to leave and they were very rude'

In the hours leading up to the alleged rapes, Kabbout and the woman had discussed the possibility of her having group sex with his friends on Snapchat.

'That's what they are into,' Kabbout wrote.

When the woman responded, 'Actually?!!?!' he replied, 'Yeah.'

Woman: 'Eep. Maybe not tbh [to be honest].'

Kabbout: 'It's only 3 guys.'

Woman: 'Idk [I don't know] them sorry HAHA.'

Kabbout: 'They look like me lol.'

Woman: 'Hahahaha erm tempting but maybe not hm.'

Having arranged to meet Kabbout at her home, the woman asked him: 'U got condoms??!!'

Kabbout said he did not and the woman asked him: 'What size r u lol.'

He replied, 'Large' and she said: 'I'll check when I get home but I think it's regular.'

In another exchange, the woman asked Kabbout, 'Do you smoke?' then added, 'Okay good [because] I don't f*** sober' when he said that he did.

The trial before Judge Leonie Flannery continues on Monday.
