Two sex beasts who told a stranger “be a good woman” as they took turns raping her have been jailed for 23 years.

Predators Syed Ahmed, 22, and Najirul Miah, 22, posed as taxi drivers to target vulnerable women outside a take-away.

They gang-raped their victim after she paid them to take her home while stranded after a night out in Sunderland, report ChronicleLive.

They drove her to a secluded spot and told her “you are going to have to do this”, “be a good woman” and “do as we tell you”.

Judge Sarah Mallett said: “You forced yourselves, one after the other, onto her.

“Both of you used some force against her during the course of the rapes, as a result of which she sustained, albeit minor, physical injuries.”

She said being thrown out of the car after the rapes added to the victim’s “humiliation” and added: “This episode must have been utterly terrifying as well as humiliating.”

Ahmed had shown a “disturbing attitude and a sense of entitlement” about his offending.

She said he “appears to believe [it] is relatively normal” while Miah had shown more victim empathy.

The woman said her decision to get into the car that night in 2016 was something she will “regret for the rest of her life”.

She said the attack has “stolen her life” and added that the men had an “easy choice” that night.

Ahmed was jailed for 11 years and Miah for 12 years after three trials at Newcastle Crown Court.

The rapists must sign the sex offenders register indefinitely and were given indefinite restraining orders.

Ahmed’s then partner Jodie Menzies, 22, was given a suspended prison sentence after admitting perverting the course of justice.

Ahmed was found guilty of rape, false imprisonment and theft of her belongings.

His lawyer David Callan said: “He doesn’t agree with the verdict but he does accept it.”

Miah was convicted of rape, sexual assault and false imprisonment, having admitted theft of her belongings.

Paul Reid, mitigating, said: “This was an incident for which this young man feels deep remorse. Even on his account, he realises that this was appalling behaviour.”

Menzies, of Sunderland, blackmailed and offered the victim money to drop the charges against her boyfriend on Facebook.

She was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment, suspended for two years, with six month curfew and a five year restraining order.

Paul Cross, for Menzies, said she aged 18 at the time and was "exceptionally vulnerable.”

The victim gave evidence to all three trials. The first trial resulted in a hung jury and a second trial was halted due to legal reasons.
