'Schoolgirl gang-raped in Southwark'
Monday, 23 November 2009
A GIRL was gang-raped at knifepoint by three teenage boys who filmed the attack on a mobile phone, a court heard on Thursday.
The 13-year-old had walked out of school with a friend after being bullied, it was claimed.
She was then led to the eighth floor of a block of flats in Southwark and subjected to the humiliating ordeal, which was filmed by her attackers, it was claimed.
Tom Wilkins, prosecuting, said two of the boys played with a flick knife in front of the victim.
The alleged attack took place on February 24 and was interrupted by teachers from the girl’s school after her friend raised the alarm, Inner London Crown Court heard.
As the explicit four-minute video was played to the jury, two of the boys sitting in the well of the court with their parents bowed their heads and covered their faces.
In the video, one of them spotted a teacher approaching the block and could be heard to say: “Oh s**t, what are we going to do?”
They fled on a bus but were arrested within a day, the court heard.
The two 16-year-olds, of Kennington and Brockley, and the 15-year-old, of Peckham, each deny three counts of rape either by committing the act or aiding and abetting.
The trial continues.
