Four men will be sentenced today for the brutal gang rape of a vulnerable 16-year-old girl who had turned to them for help.

The shocking attack on the drunken youngster happened as she was heading home and the men were returning from a night out.

After promising her they would help her, the evil gang guided the trusting teenager to a flat above the 555 pizza and kebab shop in Northwood Road, Ramsgate last September.

They then set about systematically abusing the terrified victim - laughing as they passed her from one to the other.

Prosecutor Simon Taylor told the court: "The girl had found herself in a room of the second floor above a takeaway.

"In that grubby room, with an uncovered mattress on the floor, multiple males had sex with the teenager.

"Indeed, you may well conclude that she was too drunk to give any true consent to any sexual intercourse in any event.

"But what is clear is that each of the men took the opportunity to have a little 'fun' at her expense."

Now, the four: Shershah Muslimyar, 20, of Hovenden Close, Canterbury, Rafiullah Hamidy, 24, formerly of Northwood Road, restaurant boss Tamin Rahmani, 37, of Northdown Road, Ramsgate, and a 17 year old from Wye, who cannot be named, will face long jail sentences for the rape convictions.

The jury at Canterbury Crown Court took two days to find the four guilty of all charges.

In the middle of the trial, far-right activists stormed into the court and one of them was later convicted of contempt.
