* Police discover footage of 20 more alleged victims of rape-accused FIFO worker
An Ascot father accused of drugging and raping two women he met via the Sugar Daddy website could face more charges after police discovered video footage of 20 more alleged victims.Prosecutors also revealed during a bail application hearing for Adam Charles Lusk at Perth Magistrates Court on Friday, WA Police were so concerned about the contents discovered on the 43-year-old’s phone they have set up a special taskforce to investigate the matter.
Mr Lusk, a FIFO worker who once served in the armed forces, has been locked up at Hakea Prison on remand since his arrest earlier this month for three counts of sexual penetration without consent and two counts of stupefying in relation to two women he is said to have assaulted last year.
During the hearing, police prosecutors revealed the father-of-two allegedly used the drug ketamine to knock out both women, who are not known to each other, before allegedly raping them.
The police prosecutor said the first alleged victim matched with Mr Lusk on the site in April and began dating with the court hearing they had consensual sex.
However in May it was alleged the 43-year-old drugged the woman by placing ketamine in her drink while she went to the toilet at Joe’s Juice Bar on May 21.
The police prosecutor said the woman started to lose consciousness and had a vague memory of being in an Uber but soon blacked out.
She then woke to Mr Lusk allegedly raping her at a Burswood home with the court told she then told him to “stop hurting me”.
The court was then told a few hours later Mr Lusk ordered the woman an Uber and told her to leave.
A few days later the woman visited the Sexual Assault Resource Centre. She reported the incident to police in November.
With regards to the second incident, the court was told Mr Lusk and the second woman agreed to meet at a restaurant on December 19 where it was agreed he would pay her $350.
The pair then travelled to his Ascot home where they had drinks with one of his friends.
The prosecutor said the woman saw Mr Lusk snort a white substance in front of her then made her a drink of Patron in the kitchen.
He said the woman then began to lose her memory.
The court was told the woman later woke up in Mr Lusk’s bed in pain. When she asked what happened the prosecutor said Mr Lusk laughed at her and made a joke about what he had allegedly done.
The following day the woman reported the incident to police and was taken to Royal Perth Hospital for examination. A toxicology report found she had ketamine in her system.
In opposing bail, the police prosecutor told Magistrate Joe Randazzo during the course of their investigation police seized Mr Lusk’s mobile phone which contained video footage of Mr Lusk allegedly raping at least 20 unconscious women.
He said the allegations against the 43-year-old were very serious and that police had set up a taskforce to deal with the matter.
He also revealed Mr Lusk, who pleaded not guilty to the five charges, had refused to give officers his pin code to the phone.
