Bloke takes extremely drunk woman to hotel for sex. Texts friend. Three friends turn up, one tries to film it whilst another performs oral and vaginal sex. Even in my twenties, when I put my knob in places where today I would not put the ferrule of my umbrella, I would have found that too sordid for words.

Getting pissed, as, it seems, happened to Mr McDonald, and ending up in bed with someone else who is pissed is one thing. Receiving a text and thinking "I'll have a bit of that as well", if that is what Mr Evans thought, is both nauseating and predatory, in my opinion. The verdict is not necessarily retarded.
It is when McDonald is present with Evans when they have sex. IF Evans raped the girl, McDonald was there to witness it and was a bystander and if he did not stop Evans, or call the police, he's guilty too.
From the Crimeline site linked earlier in this topic:
In the meantime, no doubt in answer to the message that he had received from McDonald, the applicant arrived at the same hotel with two other male friends. He persuaded the night porter to give him a key card to the room occupied by McDonald and the complainant. He said that he had booked the room for a friend who no longer needed it. The applicant entered the room. Sexual intercourse between McDonald and the complainant ceased. The applicant performed oral sex on the complainant and then had vaginal sex with her. While it was taking place the porter went to check what was happening. He waited outside the room for a while and concluded from the noises that he could hear within the room that a couple were having sexual intercourse. No other concerns were raised in his mind.
The applicant's two companions remained outside the hotel. They looked through the bedroom window and filmed what was taking place with a mobile telephone until the curtains to the bedroom were closed.
After about half an hour McDonald left the hotel via the reception.
All the key things highlighted in bold. McDonald was there when Evans had sex with the girl. Part of it was recorded.McDonald left about half an hour later. The porter deemed the noises as sexual intercourse, not rape.
