Three men have been jailed for a total of 33 years after being convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl in Bristol, a case that also saw a 17-year-old boy convicted in connection with the attack.
According to court findings, the men persuaded the girl to travel into Bristol alone before giving her alcohol. She was then raped by the group at a house in the city.
Following the attack, three of the men reportedly fled the United Kingdom, traveling to France concealed in the back of a lorry, before ultimately being apprehended and brought before the courts.
The defendants were identified in court proceedings as Mehrab Safi, 21, and Salman Habibkheil and Awal Ahmadzai, both 19, alongside a 17-year-old boy who was also convicted in the case.
The sentencing brings to a close a case that drew significant attention due to both the nature of the crime and the defendants' attempt to evade justice by leaving the country.
