'She led the way': CCTV footage clears USC student of rape

Security footage taken at a US nightclub has cleared a university student of rape, after it showed the woman "putting her hands around his neck and kissing him".

Armaan Premjee was accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old USC student at her dorm in Los Angeles with prosecutors claiming the woman was too drunk to consent, CBS reported.

But security footage taken from the Banditos nightclub shows the woman walking Premjee out of the venue and later signing him into her dorm.
