A schoolgirl with learning difficulties was gang-raped by up to ten thugs who then threw caustic soda over her in London.They left her screaming in agony, with skin peeling off her face and body, as they ran away laughing.The horrific attack has left the 15-year-old, who has a mental age of eight or nine, disfigured for life and severely traumatised.Yesterday three of her attackers were convicted of rape after pleading not guilty, forcing the girl to relive her ordeal by giving evidence via video-link.They sneered in the dock at Wood Green Crown Court, North London, as the Ghanaian-born teenager frequently paused because her wounds were causing discomfort.The rape happened in January this year in Tottenham after the girl arranged to meet a man she knew. Instead she was lured to see Jamaican-born Rogel McMorris, then 17.Then at least nine of his friends arrived and the terrified teenager was stripped and repeatedly raped. Finally the youths poured caustic soda over her body in an apparent attempt to get rid of forensic evidence. She suffered deep burns to her face and neck, chest, and private parts.The attackers were all members of a gang calling themselves 'Tugs From Around', meaning thugs from several parts of North London.The jury found McMorris, now 18, guilty of rape. His immigrant status is being investigated. Jason Brew, 19, who was born in the UK, and Hector Muaimba, 20, an immigrant from Angola, were also found guilty of rape. All have previous convictions and will be sentenced next month.Some of the attackers were never identified, but those convicted were caught by DNA and fingerprint evidence plus data proving their mobile phones were at the location at the time.Source: Mailonline
