This afternoon, the jury heard a covert recording of a meeting between the 2016 complainant and an entertainer, who has interim name suppression. The entertainer can later be heard saying: "He has enough money to buy people to survive." "It felt like the right thing to do, it felt like the right place to be," the young man told the court. The young man fled the room to another guest at the home before vomiting several times.
