A male model who took his Thai girlfriend to a champagne-fuelled swingers party beat her up after he found her with another man, a jury heard yesterday.

Patrick Ribbsaeter punched Wachiraporn Sara-Pod so many times on their drive home that she could barely see out of her swollen face, the Old Bailey was told.

She eventually fled his alleged assault wearing nothing but a fur coat.

The couple had earlier gone to the ‘Killing Kittens’ sex party at a restaurant in Leicester Square, London.

Tickets for the event in October cost £150 a person, and complimentary champagne flowed freely.

Within a few hours of the party beginning, the court was told, couples were openly having sex.

But instead of being happy to share his lover with others, Ribbsaeter allegedly flew into a jealous rage when he caught her in the toilet with a fellow party-goer.

Miss Sara-Pod, 29, insisted she was only taking drugs with a male friend when her 32-year-old boyfriend burst in.

‘I was feeling tipsy. I remember I took two lines of cocaine,’ she said.

‘Patrick came in and said I had slept with a guy in the toilet. He was really angry. He grabbed me and took me out.’

Ribbsaeter then left her and went to another West End nightspot, the British Luxury Club.

She followed him there, but he refused to talk to her, she said, and he left with his friend Dheeraj Harjani, a company director.

Finally at 6.30am he agreed to meet her by her Land Rover Discovery in a car park. When she arrived he struck her across the face, knocking her to the ground, the jury was told – and struck her again while she was sitting on the floor.

A passer-by saw the alleged attack and asked: ‘Why are you hitting the girl?’ before punching Ribbsaeter in the face, the court heard, in turn knocking him to the ground.

But the Miss Sara-Pod then intervened to protect Ribbsaeter, saying: ‘Please don’t hurt him, he’s my boyfriend,’ jurors were told.

Ribbsaeter then drove her towards his home in Streatham, south London, while constantly asking if she had sex with the man in the toilet, it was claimed.

Miss Sara-Pod said: ‘Patrick hit me again and again. He was asking me “Did you have sex with that guy?” I say no and when I say no he hit me.

‘He tell me I’m lying. He said he will hit me until I say the truth.

‘Then he grabbed my hair and hit my head on the console. He kept hitting me so many times that I tried to open the car to jump out.’

Ribbsaeter eventually stopped the car on their way home, and asked her if she wanted to have sex on the back seat, she claimed.

‘I said yes because I believed it would calm him down,’ said Miss Sara-Pod. But after the sex he punched her in the face and put his hands around her throat, she claimed.

‘He had his whole body on top of me and kept punching on my face many times,’ she went on. ‘I was bleeding.

‘He had his hand round my neck and squeezed it until I felt suffocated.’

The court heard that the assault only stopped when Ribbsaeter noticed she was losing consciousness.

Prosecutor Camilla De Silva told the jury: ‘It ended when she managed to escape from the car wearing nothing but a fur coat.

‘She ran to a garage and a mechanic called 999 at 10.14am.’

Ribbsaeter’s friend Mr Harjani told the court he had joined him on his search for Miss Sara-Pod at the sex party – and looked on as the accused man pushed open a lavatory cubicle.

Mr Harjani said: ‘She was there kind of slumped on the toilet seat and the floor – and there was another guy there having sex with her or something. He was half naked.’

Mr Harjani said Ribbsaeter later told him the man had tried to rape her, and added: ‘Patrick said to me it was OK for her to have sex with another guy if she had her senses, because that’s the fun of the party, however, not if she was being taken advantage of.’

Ribbsaeter denies causing grievous bodily harm. The case continues.
