It’s fairly early in the book, basically the nightclub guy drugs up an underage (iirc could be wrong on the age) girl and convinces her boyfriend to start having sex on camera- then is followed by every guy in the room.

It’s absolutely gratuitous and, even it was really important for the audience to know, it could have easily been alluded to. It serves not real purpose to the plot.
