A police officer accused of raping a teenager after a night out sent a blurred photograph of the pair to friends before saying 'no face, no case', a court heard.
Jamal 'Bertie' Robinson, 29, is accused of attacking the woman, now 21, at his mother's home in Worthing, West Sussex after meeting her at a Brighton nightclub on December 14, 2019.
The woman said she felt safe with the officer and agreed to go home with him, where he allegedly raped and sexually assaulted her. Robinson denies the claims.
Earlier in the evening, Mr Robinson had messaged a Whatsapp group nicknamed 'The Wolves' saying: 'OMG. I've never seen so much puss, boys', Lewes Crown Court heard.
After buying the woman a drink, Mr Robinson proceeded to send a selfie of the pair to the group chat, which he said he had been a part of for 10 years.
In the picture, the PCSO can be seen turning away from the camera while the young woman covers her face with her hand.
Mr Robinson, who told the court he had a girlfriend at the time, allegedly captioned the photograph 'no face, no case' when he sent the picture to the Whatsapp chat.
He described the tone of the message as 'boyish' and 'laddish', but defended his actions and insisted he had no intention of 'going out to meet someone'.

On Thursday, Mr Robinson told Lewes Crown Court of the picture and his remarks: 'The tone of the language is boyish.
'My intention wasn't go out and meet someone. My intention was to go out with my friend and have a good time.
'I shouldn't have been taking a picture. I was being laddish with my friends.'
Earlier, the court heard how the PCSO boasted about landing his 'dream job' with Scotland Yard and gave the woman his badge to hold, telling her that police could get free VIP treatment.
Robinson also allegedly bragged about being friends with YouTubers Conor Maynard and Caspar Lee, and told the woman he was sending a video of them in the club to Maynard before putting his number into her phone with a police emoji next to it.
