Girl, 13, gang raped by three men, 24, 29 & 24, who lured her from Hammersmith tube stop to flat before horror attack
A 13-YEAR-OLD girl was raped by three men who lured her from Hammersmith tube stop to a flat before the horror attack.
Paul Maxwell, 24, Kayon Bola, 29, and Jeremiah Jackson, 24, found the girl outside the west London station on September 30 last year.
They lured the girl back to Maxwell’s flat where she was raped by all three.
CCTV footage showed the group travelling from the station towards the flat.
Forensic phone analysis also revealed a harrowing video clip of the three men carrying out the attack.
All three men were found guilty of rape following a three-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Maxwell, from nearby Shepherd’s Bush, was also convicted of an additional count on July 22 of this year.
He was jailed for 12 and a half years while Acton resident Jackson and Bhola, of no fixed address, were both jailed for 11 years.
The victim bravely read out a impact statement about her chilling ordeal.
She said: “I have gone over the date a million times thinking what I could have done differently to change the outcome of what happened to me.
“No matter what I change, it would’ve ended the same way.
“This is because these three men, fully grown men, knew exactly what they were going to do as soon as they saw me at Hammersmith.
“I was caught alone, and vulnerable. But that shouldn’t have mattered.”
Detective Constable Will Murphy said: “Firstly, I would like to thank the victim for her ongoing support in this case.
“She showed extreme bravery in coming forward and reporting this to police.
“This has been a challenging investigation. However, due to the dedicated efforts of my team, we were able to secure convictions.
“I hope the victim feels that justice has been served. Today’s sentencing highlights how despicable this crime was.
“Maxwell, Bhola and Jackson will now face the consequences of their horrendous actions.
“The Met is here to support victims of sexual assault, and to provide the best care we can. Please do not hesitate to come to us.”
