I am satisfied from the evidence you well knew her age.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You were to an extent under the influence of drink and drugs and she was given a drink of alcohol spiked with cocaine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The effect upon her\u00a0was almost immediate and she started blacking out. Her next memory was waking in the bedroom and being raped by one of your group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Other members of your group, when the rape was going on, came into the bedroom to watch. You then, as [the victim] put it, swapped with the first man and you raped her. She shouted in pain as you raped her and she told you to stop but you wouldn&#8217;t. Your response was a vile boast that she couldn&#8217;t handle you.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The court was told that a third man was planning to rape the victim but a disturbance at the flat prevented this from happening. As a result of the rape the girl suffered significant bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>In a personal statement by the victim read out to the court by prosecutor Matthew Cobbe, the woman said the rape had limited her ability to live a normal life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8216;I went out to celebrate my birthday and ended up in the middle of a nightmare. Every year I celebrate my birthday it will be the anniversary of my attack.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The girl also said her GCSE exams were affected and did not believe her results were reflective of her potential.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/10\/09\/18\/48962687-10075699-image-a-9_1633799626792.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Irving was sentenced to 13 years in jail and made him subject to sexual offenders notification requirements for life<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8216;I have little social life anymore and my self-confidence is very low. I feel too anxious to go out at night and I am reluctant to leave the safety of the house and spend my time in my bedroom&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel the memory of the attack is fading a little bit but something will trigger a flashback and I am back to square one.<\/p>\n<p>Nightmares are also a problem and take me back to that night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The incident has left me extremely wary of men and I am not even considering forming a relationship. It will be some time before I get that trust back again. It pains me to see the effect on my family &#8211; it has caused stress and anguish to all members for which I irrationally feel responsible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I do not feel forgiveness for my attacker. He&#8217;s responsible for the pain he&#8217;s brought to me and my family and nothing will restore things to normal.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Irving, of The Crossway in Wealdstone, Harrow, denied raping the victim and initially claimed he had never been to Cardiff but he was found guilty following a trial.<\/p>\n<p>In mitigation Andreas O&#8217;Shea said his client was a father-of-two with the youngest child being born 10 days ago but the defendant missed the birth having been remanded in custody following the trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sentencing, Judge Williams said the defendant was a &#8216;high risk&#8217; to young women in a social setting.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;[The victim] was subjected\u00a0to both degradation and humiliation with the rapes being treated as entertainment to others in the flat. It was a sustained incident and involved her being raped twice and threatened with a third.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She was vulnerable. She was a very young female just days out of childhood and helplessly incapacitated by drugs she unwittingly took.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Irving was sentenced to 13 years in jail and made him subject to sexual offenders notification requirements for life.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10075699\/Teenager-gang-raped-16th-birthday-drink-laced-cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teenager was gang-raped on her 16th birthday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":141246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
