Two young girls raped by 6 footballers

I imagine she did it in the end because she felt pressured by her 'friend'. So yeah, she probably was forced, but emotionally not physically. You know what 12 year olds are like, they just want to fit in and often do stupid things that they'll regret later. Obviously people of all ages do this but especially at 12 you aren't going to have much of a voice and self-confidence.

SIX footballers who had a midnight sex orgy in a park with two 12-year-old girls they treated "like pieces of flesh" have each been caged for two years.
A shocked court heard how they told of their "horror" when they discovered the girls were not 16 as they had claimed — before all were charged with rape.

The schoolgirls had sneaked away from a family party and began exchanging suggestive texts with the men — several of whom were part of the Reading FC football academy.

Judge Stephen John was told how one of the girls had texted the group to ask to be picked up, adding saucily: "We can have three each."

The six friends collected the pair in two Vauxhall Corsas and drove to a park in Reading, Berks, where one girl had sex with five of the men.

Horrified court officials heard how the girl called them over "one by one". The other girl had sex with one man.

The girls, who had been reported missing by one of their mothers, were later found wandering the streets at 2.20am by police and when asked what they were doing admitted they had had sex with a group of six men.

An appeal was launched to find those involved and soon all six men had handed themselves in and made full confessions.

Reading Crown Court heard all the men freely admitted having sex with the girls on February 21 last year, saying they had made "all the running" and had told them that they were 16.

Disgusted

The court heard they were said to have been "shocked and disgusted" to learn the true ages of the girls with one saying: "I've got a little sister about that age".

Courtney Amos, 19, Ashley Charles, 20, Dennis De Sousa, 18, Jahson Downes, 20, Jahvon Edwards, 19 and Luke Farrugia, 21, all admitted rape of a girl under the age of 13.

Downes is a former Reading FC academy player who until recently played for Basingstoke Town FC in Hampshire, while Ashley Charles also attended the academy.

Farrugia plays for Reading Town and Courtney Amos has completed two years of football coaching. The other two also play football for low division clubs.

Police analysis of the men's mobile phones showed one of the girls had been in touch with Edwards for a number of days.

When Edwards told her he was with five friends a message returned from the girl's phone saying "we can have three each" before a smiley face icon.

Prosecutor Alan Blake said: "The two girls left the family party surreptitiously, ducking down between parked cars so that one girl's father wouldn't see them leaving to meet the men.

"One girl said one of the males kept asking her for sex and she was initially reluctant but eventually gave into his persistence and she says only one male had sexual contact with her.

"The witnesses described how the boys went over to the other girl one at a time on the other side of the park and that she was calling them over and they were going one by one."

Defence lawyers, mitigating for the six defendants, described the case as "exceptional".

They highlighted the young girls' lies and said that if it had not been for their clients' honesty the Crown Prosecution Service would have had no case.

The judge also heard that the most active of the two girls mentioned in five of the six charges is being investigated over an unrelated false rape allegation and had a fake age on her Facebook page.

Martin Hooper, mitigating for both Charles and Downes, echoed comments by his fellow defence counsel that his clients' lives had been devastated by what happened that night.

Both had hoped to have careers in football coaching but were no longer able to because of sex offence restrictions.

Defending Mr de Sousa, Sheilagh Davies said that when officers told him the girls ages he was "disgusted" adding: "Oh my goodness. I have got a little sister about that age".

Judge John sentenced Downes, from Reading, Amos, of Caversham, Berks, Charles of Coley, Berks, De Sousa, of Tilehurst, Berks, and Edwards of West Reading, to be detained for two years in a Young Offenders' Institute. Farrugia, of West Reading, was sent to prison for two years.

He said: "Having said that, it is clear to me that all of you were utterly reckless in what you did that night.

"These girls were entirely unknown to you. You saw these girls as willing sexual partners, which they were, and behaved towards them as if they were simply pieces of flesh, not people.
"By acting as you did, you will have confirmed in them twisted views of what sex is about and further entrenched in them thoroughly inappropriate behaviour."

He said he accepted the leading girl was willing and, despite only being 12 years old, had not been a virgin at the time. The other, he said, was clearly more reluctant.

The judge added: "But no-one can ever tell what effect such an inappropriate experience can have on a girl of such an age.

"Experience shows that the effects can be long-lasting and they have the potential for impeding the normal process of growing up and of forming normal relationships with members of the opposite sex of an appropriate age."

Stuff like this pisses me off. So because they are little whores and lie about their age, it's the men that suffer? Maybe they should have kept their knickers on. What skanks.

I'm aware it's called statutory rape by the law, but technically it's not rape, they consented, they whipped their knickers off and spread their legs. If anything they should be bloody punished for luring the men into a false sense of security. Slags.

That's not rape.
For ****'s sake

That's not rape.
For ****'s sake

Why would they question it?

If you were about to have sex with a man, would you expect him to ask you for ID?

Why have you jumped to the conclusion that it must be a psychological problem. It sounds like some sort of Victorian age rationality, if a girl is enjoying sex, she must be mentally ill.


What's morally wrong with tagteaming girls? Does it make it less immoral because it's in a park rather than a bedroom? I can't see how.


If they look old enough, sound old enough, act old enough, then they ARE old enough. There is fundamentally no difference between them and someone who's over-age. Explain to me what's the difference. Some people grow up and mature quicker.

Horrible act. Why would you do **** like that when you're in the academy of a fairly good team too? Might just **** up their careers. Some people...

Why is sex disgusting to you? I just find that odd. It's a natural bodily function. And it's not hurting anyone.

Why does it mean they have no respect for themselves? I used to sleep around a lot and I had lots of respect for myself, as I'm sure most people who sleep around do.


I don't have any views on sex per se, I just see it how it is.

Sure people do things they might later regret, it's called a learning experience. You do something you regret, then you learn from it. Maybe that reluctant girl has learned not to do what her friend tells her to. It's good because you learn from it.

You don't even know if that reluctant girl even did regret it, she was just reluctant at first. How do you know that she didn't end up enjoying it after all? It's a pretty huge assumption to say otherwise.

She is 12...., a young girl being that sexually promiscious is a sign of child abuse.

As she could be in danger at home or she could do this again and next time she might meet some men who leave her dead in a ditch when they are through.

People would also raise questions about an older girl even a woman indulging in such risky behaviour, a gangbang with a group of men in a park, none of whom she was in a relationship with.

Indulging in animalistic rutting in a public place just shows how low society has gone. Even if these guys thought the girls were of age, it is an act of gross indecency and should be punished.

Such moral decadance is a symptom of the vermin and subhumans who roam the streets of the UK thanks to liberal teaching, and morally corrupt media, a political class without backbone to take a moral stand, and a legal system that is not harsh enough to fill people with fear at the thought of prison.A gas chamber would be the best place of some of the as they are lost causes.

'if they look old enough, sound old enough, act old enough, then they ARE old enough' we have laws against underage sex for a reason. It is judged that people under that age are not mentally mature enough to cope with a sexual relationship. Perhaps the law needs to be looked at ,as we have a different society today, and girls seem to be going in to puberty earlier.But the law is the law and must be obeyed. In any case, I refuse to see the point in changing the law ,admitting defeat because society has been allowed to deteriorate into the third world toilet it is today in Britain. Politicians should be taking harsh but necessary steps to remove the cancer.

When did I say that sex is disgusting? I just find that people who sleep around A LOT, and I mean a lot, not just one new person a week, shouldn't deserve a lot of respect. Condoms aren't 100% safe so they could be passing round god knows what.

It's a pretty harsh way to learn that lesson though. Unless she was fully developed (doubtful) then it would have been pretty painful.

No I don't know that she regretted it, but a 12 year old girl who was reluctant to having sex but then 'gave in' doesn't sound great.

Stuff like this pisses me off. So because they are little whores and lie about their age, it's the men that suffer? Maybe they should have kept their knickers on. What skanks.

I'm aware it's called statutory rape by the law, but technically it's not rape, they consented, they whipped their knickers off and spread their legs. If anything they should be bloody punished for luring the men into a false sense of security. Slags.

You said if someone sleeps with more than 1 person a week it's disgusting. I fail to see how, but of course that is just subjective, to you.

Condoms aren't 100% safe but aren't they around 98%? You'd have to have sex over 100 times with 100 different people for it begin to be a problem, but we don't all walk around with surgical masks incase we catch TB or a cold.



Don't think we should infer things from how the Daily Mirror make things sound.

What a disgusting thing to say about children. They're not even teenagers yet. They've been out of primary school for a year. Using language like 'whores' 'skanks' and 'slags' is offensive and misogynist at best, and when directed at children is just shocking. Shame on you.

If the girls were a year older and that happened in spain.. it would be no big deal, as the age for consent there is 13!
