The three men were arrested within an hour of the attack after a security guard saw the rape taking place on CCTV.

Footage shows the trio took it in turns to rape a young woman after forcing her down a nearby alleyway in the early hours of July 10, 2022.

The victim was left with no memory of the sickening attack.

Detective Sergeant Harry Nunez: "This was an atrocious attack on a young woman who was targeted and subjected to sustained, serious sexual violence.

"I would like to recognise the victim’s bravery who has supported this investigation throughout.

"The actions taken early on in the investigation by police to secure key evidence such as forensics and CCTV were also key in building a conclusive case against the evil men responsible for this horrendous and sickening crime."
