A married man who police fear was drugged and sexually attacked felt “really panicked” when he woke up naked in a strange room, a court has heard.

He has a vague memory of waking up in a room with a sliver of light breaking through the curtains and a stranger standing at the door.

The alleged victim had been on a night out with colleagues the night before and did not recall how he got there, Oxford Crown Court heard.

Luiz Da Silva Neto, of Wandsworth, is accused of drugging two men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, potentially with GHB or GBL, and sexually assaulting them in November and December 2021.

The 35-year-old is accused of two counts of administering a substance with intent, two counts of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and one count of kidnapping, rape and committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.

He denies the charges.

In a taped police interview, the married man spoke of having a flash of memory that was “like tunnel vision” in which a cup with a “dark brown liquid” was held to his lips.

He had a “hazy memory” of the drink being given to him while he was lying on his side but could not pinpoint more details, the jury heard.

The married man said that after he woke up, the man in the doorway spoke with a European accent and told him that a taxi was on the way.

The alleged victim told detectives: “I just need to get out of here as soon as I can – that’s all that I thought at the time.

“I did not recognise the person and just wanted to get out as as soon as I could without appearing panicked.”

He recalled an “overwhelming sense of panic and confusion” before he “bolted out” of bed, scooped up his clothes and left.

The voice of the man who spoke to him was not aggressive or threatening but “normal in tone and slightly nervous”, he said.

Once he got out of the house, the alleged victim repeatedly zoomed in and out of the location map on his mobile phone which showed him he was in Oxfordshire and miles from home.

His phone was filled with messages from his worried wife, colleagues and friends.

At this point he was “quite distressed and upset” but could not recall full details of his £200 taxi ride home, the jury heard.

The incident allegedly happened after he had been on a night out with work colleagues which began at a pub where he had four or five beers.

He shared some wine at dinner and had a cocktail.

His party of four went on to the central London hotspot Raffles, where they sat at a VIP table which had a minimum spend of £900.

The group shared a bottle of champagne and a bottle of gin.

The last thing he remembered from being inside Raffles was his colleagues saying they may be going home.

The married man remembered feeling “strange” and “kind of wavy and as if your lips are not working” when he spoke to the doorman at the club.

In his police interview, he said: “In my head I knew what I was trying to say but could not really speak.”

He added: “I drink frequently. I know when to stop, how much I can drink and to keep in control. I know how I feel with alcohol.”

The man told police he had a blood test the next day and did not feel any soreness to suggest that something had happened.

During interviews with detectives, Da Silva Neto claimed all sexual interactions between him and the two men were consensual, the court heard.
