Tweed, a 22-year-old club promoter, denies attacking the young woman in the early hours of September 4 last year.
Linda Strudwick, prosecuting, said the alleged victim and her friends went to Tweed's house in Brandesbury Square, Repton Park, Woodford Green, after a night out at the Embassy club in Mayfair.
The woman was shy and "made it plain to both defendants that she was not interested in them sexually",u00a0 Strudwick said. But Davis pushed her into a bedroom and called for Tweed to join him, the court was told.
Girl froze with fear
The court heard that at first the young woman thought they were just "lads being lads" but as she realised what was happening she "froze with fear".
Strudwick said Tweed and Davis "were predatory and, whether they agreed with this or not, they seemed to work together. They were touching her and pestered her for a threesome."
After Tweed raped her the first time, the young woman was able to push him away and move towards the door, but he pushed her back on to the bed. He then raped her again and she was "in a world of her own, trying to block out what was happening".
She then struggled to escape as Davis raped her, the court was told.
Alcohol and drugs
The court heard that, on the night of the alleged attack, Tweed drank five beers and "several" vodka lemonades while Davis had also drunk a "considerable amount". The young woman had "drunk comparatively little". but took a small amount of cocaine at the club.
Tweed denies two counts of rape while Davis denies one count of the same charge. Both defendants are on bail.u00a0
