Gozalan, 30, said the incident had ruined his life. But he was relieved that he kept the photos of the duo enjoying during their intimacy, on his mobile phone.
'The photographs show the girls were having a good time. I do not understand why they would make up something so nasty,' he told police officials who arrested him after being accused by the women.
Prosecutor Carolyn Branford-Wood told Southampton crown court that the girl Weston attended a police station two days after the alleged attack.
She narrated: 'Miss Weston had been out with Miss France for a meal. Following the meal both young women continued to socialise together and drinking.
'During the course of the evening they met two Turkish men. The four of them had been in a pub together and left together.
'Miss Weston went on to claim that she had been raped by one of these men at his home. The following day Miss France also informed the police that she too had been raped by the same man,' she said.
She said Gozalan surrendered his phone to the police officer, who was able to examine the pictures.
'These show not only him engaged in sexual activity, but the two women too, Branford-Wood told the court.
Gozalan was released on bail.
