Rafiullah Hamidy and three other men have been found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl

A group of men who gang-raped a lost 16-year-old girl above a takeaway have been found guilty.

The girl had asked for directions when she was taken to the room and subjected to a 'frightening ordeal' by the four men.

She was on her way home from a night out in Ramsgate, Kent, when the men picked her up.

Prosecutor Simon Taylor told Canterbury Crown Court that after pushing the girl onto a mattress they carried out multiple rapes 'and laughed as they put her through the ordeal'.

The four men allegedly took her into the room with just a mattress on the floor before tuning off the lights so she would not recognise them.

Shershah Muslimyar, 20, of Canterbury, restaurant owner Tamin Rahani, 37, of Ramsgate, Rafiullah Hamidy, 24, of no fixed address and Hamid Mohamadi, 18, from Wye, all denied three charges of rape.

A jury took two days to find the four guilty on all charges, and they were remanded in custody pending reports on the danger they pose before sentencing in July.

The trial faced protests by far-right groups including Britain First and EDL founder Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.

During the trial, the judge ordered Mohamadi's name to be withheld from court reports in the press after doubts about his true age.

But now he has been assessed as being 18.

Mr Taylor told the court: 'The girl was undoubtedly drunk and was walking the streets alone late at night.

'The Crown's case is that her drunkenness, youth and vulnerability would have been recognised by the defendants.

'And it was these factors that they took advantage of in the couple of hours that followed.'

The girl was taken to the home of Rahani, a flat above the 555 Pizza and Kebab shop, where the horrific attack took place

The girl was taken to the home of Rahani, a flat above the 555 Pizza and Kebab shop, where the horrific attack took place.

Mr Taylor added: 'Once there she was raped by men on multiple occasions.

'Through drink, and most likely the trauma of what happened to her, she was unable to provide any detailed descriptions.

'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.

'She says that she did not consent.

'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.'

The victim told the jury: 'I'm not sure how many were in the room; think there were four or five of them.

'They were all like push, pushing, pushing me like to each other.

'One of them pushed me onto the bed. They were all laughing.

'They were laughing as they walked over, I think there was one or two by the door.

'I can't remember much after that to be honest, they kept swapping over, they were having sex.

'I told them to stop. I moved but they just carried on.'

After the attacks, she was 'escorted' out of the property by one of the men 'and left to roam the streets alone'.

The girl was found 'sobbing and distressed' by a woman returning home and taken into her home for safety.
