I read another article that had his defence and things he’d said in court. It all just sounds like a litany of excuses as to why he didn’t do the right thing and call the police/go to a police station etc.
The accused said his goal was 'keeping on track to a museum and keeping her safe and comfortable'.
When asked why they did not go to the museum, he said it started to rain more heavily and they had not seen the girl's parents.
He said they went to his flat to search for a police station as his apartment was 'very close by' and he knew 'how to get there quickly'.
He said: 'I had found three police stations on Google Maps but there didn't seem to be a direct route to any of them.
'It started raining and the rain was dropping on my phone so because my apartment was near, I thought it would be best to go there.'
Asked by his barrister whether he would have done things differently now, Prussak admitted: 'In hindsight, knowing now that her parents were in Harrods, staying at that spot or going inside would have been the best solution.
Defence barrister Catherine Donnelly asked her client why he did not call the police.
Prussak said: 'I absolutely regret not calling the police sooner. I had never done it before and I didn't know what response I would get.
'I was scared they would send in the cavalry and the ambulances and everything. I thought I could get there more efficiently.'
He was then asked if he was aware how long they had been at his apartment. He said after he left he thought it was 'about an hour', but later found out it was two hours, which 'surprised' him.
The court previously heard the girl was later taken to hospital, where she was reunited with her family, and a urine sample was collected from her.
The sample contained diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, an antihistamine which typically causes drowsiness, the court heard.
