The woman had been separated from her friends on a night out when two of the men took her behind a beach hut and raped her, while the third went to the location moments later and captured footage of the attack.

Ibrahim Alshafe, 26, from Egypt, and Abdulla Ahmadi, 26, from Iran, had both denied two counts each of raping the woman on 4 October last year. They were found guilty.

The pair were jailed for 21 years each at Hove Crown Court on Wednesday.

Egyptian national Karin Al-Danasurt, 21, was also found guilty of all four counts of rape as a secondary party by encouraging and filming the ordeal.

He was sentenced to 18 years and six months in prison.

All three will serve a further six years on extended licence.

During the trial at Hove Crown Court, jurors heard the trio had found the woman "staggering in the street", alone and "incapacitated".

Footage showed her falling down twice, with prosecutors describing the attack as "cynical, predatory and callous".

Alshafe was also shown smiling and sticking his tongue out during the assault, as well as slapping the woman in the face.

At the sentencing hearing on Wednesday, the woman read a victim impact statement saying: "They destroyed my life that night, they took something from me nobody had the right to do so.

"They violated me in every way."

Sentencing the men, Judge Christine Henson KC said: "Each of you participated in an entirely predatory and callous attack on a female separated from her friends after what had been a fun night out for her.

"You each treated her with contempt and you each played a role in degrading her in the most appalling way."

Prosecutor Hanna Llewellyn-Waters KC described the men as "devoid of humanity" and their treatment of the woman was "entirely predatory, callous and contemptuous".

She described the impact on the woman as "extreme".

In her victim impact statement, the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, added: "They took something from me that night I'm afraid I will never get back.

"To not take accountability for their actions [is] like sticking a knife in and twisting it again."

She told the court that when she closes her eyes she sees the man filming it and "laughing at me".

"My skin crawls. No matter how hard I scrub it, I still feel dirty," she added.

During the trial, all three men gave evidence through translators to deny the crimes.

Ms Llewellyn-Waters said their accounts provided "clear and chilling insight into a wholly warped mindset" and a "total lack of remorse".

Alshafe and Ahmadi had claimed during the trial the encounter was consensual and that she had approached them along the seafront, kissed and touched them both, mentioned something about sex and took them both to the beach.

Al-Danasurt, who claimed to jurors he attempted to stop the attack by filming it, also denied he spat in the woman's mouth and called her a "dirty b****".

At the time of the incident, all three defendants knew each other and were living at hotel accommodation for asylum seekers near Horsham, West Sussex.

The court heard Ahmadi and Alshafe met on a small boat which arrived in the UK from France in June 2025. Al-Danasurt had arrived in the country in October 2024.

Ministers have vowed to deport the men after they were sentenced.

The teenager, who was detained in south London last Thursday, 9 July, was initially arrested on suspicion of criminal damage of a vehicle, police said.

But following a search, officers discovered a "number of documents of concern" and arrested him on suspicion of an offence under the terrorism act "linked to extreme right-wing terrorism", a Met spokesperson said.

The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has now been charged with an offence of preparing acts of terrorism in the Sutton area of south London.

He has also been charged with an alleged "racially aggravated" criminal damage offence.

The Met Police said: "The terrorism charge relates to an alleged plan to target two mosques in the Sutton area.

"The mosques affected have been contacted by police and are being provided with ongoing advice and support by specialist officers.

"Officers have also been in contact with the victim in relation to the damaged vehicle."

A spokesperson for the force added: "There is not believed to be any enduring or wider threat in relation to this matter and police are not seeking any other people in connection with this investigation."

Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: "This is a very serious terrorism charge against a young boy and likely to be highly concerning to the public and the local community.

"We know this will be particularly concerning to the Muslim community, and we are working closely with the venues affected to ensure they are kept updated and to provide advice, support and reassurance, and this will continue."

She added: "While it is deeply concerning to see someone so young charged with offences of this nature, we are sadly seeing an increasing number of children and young people in our casework."

The boy has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

Stiles, who died aged 78 in October 2020, had headed a football around 140,000 times during his career, Stockport Coroner's Court heard at the inquest into his death.

The hearing was told the former Manchester United footballer died with severe dementia, with expert analysis of his brain showing it was as a result of Alzheimer's disease but also chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which has been associated with head trauma from heading a ball.

Neuro-pathology expert, Dr Daniel Du Plessis told the court: "I'm quite convinced his heading the football that many times has caused his CTE."

Alison Mutch, senior coroner for South Manchester, asked Dr Du Plessis: "You are saying repeated heading of the ball is the cause of his CTE?" Dr Du Plessis replied: "Yes."

Stiles was best-known for being one of the key members of the 1966 England World Cup winning team.

He died in October 2020 after a long illness in which he was diagnosed with dementia and suffered a mini-stroke in 2010.

His family has since campaigned for football authorities to better support ex-players.

Stiles' son John has previously said that football had "killed" his father.

He was capped 28 times by England and made nearly 400 appearances for Manchester United, but was forced to sell his medals to fund his dementia care.

Last Friday, Chris Morris, area coroner for Greater Manchester South, told Stockport Coroner's Court neuropathology expert, Dr Daniel du Plessis, had examined samples and medical records and due to the injury a full inquest into his death was required.

Mr Morris said "for reasons not entirely clear to me" Stiles's death was not at the time reported to the coroner's office for investigation, which had only begun after information provided by the ex-footballer's family.

He added Dr Du Plessis had determined Stiles's cause of death as Alzheimers disease.

But he also said his death was contributed to by high-stage CTE.

Mr Morris continued: "On the basis of that cause of death, particularly the inclusion of a traumatic injury included in the cause of death, I'm satisfied an inquest is required into the sad death of Mr Stiles."

John Stiles, head of the Football Families for Justice (FFJ) group, is among dozens of former footballers and their families suing the Football Association, the Football Association of Wales and the English Football League.

They claim football's governing bodies were "negligent and in breach of their duty of care" to the former players.

In March this year, lawyers for The Football Association told the High Court it has "not been established by science" that heading a ball or "occasional" concussion can lead to permanent brain damage.

A study in 2019, co-funded by the FA and Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), found footballers were three-and-a-half times more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease than age-matched members of the general population.

The FA is phasing out all heading in youth football up to under-11s by 2026.

Pamela Gwinnett isolated 89-year-old Joan Green from her family while pretending to act as her carer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She convinced Joan to transfer power of attorney to her - giving her control over her finances - and raided the retired accountant's life savings.

Gwinnett spent the money she took on Botox treatments, lavish meals, a £22,500 car, and mortgages for properties she owned.

Sky News tracked her down to a picturesque seaside apartment in the south of Tenerife and confronted her earlier this year.

She has now been arrested on the island, and it is understood she will appear in court in Spain before being flown back to the UK.

Sky News tracked fraudster down

When Sky News spoke to Gwinnett outside her home and asked if she stole Joan's savings, she said: "No, never. Her family took it."

She told us she was not in the UK "because I've got an appeal going on".

"I don't need to answer these questions," she said. "Did I heck take the money. I was her power of attorney and executor, her solicitor's got all the money.

"I didn't have her bank card, her family had it. They have made me a scapegoat."

'It has taken far too long'

Joan's family told Sky News on Wednesday: "We are pleased that Pamela Gwinnett has finally been arrested and will now be held accountable for what she did to my nan.

"However, it has taken far too long to reach this point.

"Whilst this outcome cannot undo what happened, we hope it brings some measure of closure and serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable people from abuse and exploitation."

Gwinnett, 63, fled to Tenerife in breach of her bail conditions while awaiting trial and has been living on the island for more than a year.

She was sentenced in her absence last October to six years for theft and fraud by abuse of position.

Gwinnett's crimes have become known at her apartment complex, where furious residents have put up posters: One says "justice for Joan Green", and another is a picture of Gwinnett with the caption "wanted".

'All the pain she's caused'

Joan, from Chorley, Lancashire, died in 2022.

Speaking to Sky News earlier this year, her step-grandson David Bolton said his biggest fear was that she died believing Gwinnett's lies that her family had abandoned her and didn't love her.

David said: "The fact [is] that she's just sunning it up in Tenerife, walking around, doesn't care - only about herself.

"All the pain she's caused everybody over here, all the upset. It's just so annoying."

Gwinnett took extreme measures to stop Joan's family from intervening in her scheme, changing Joan's landline number, padlocking the gates and telling carers to stop the family coming in.

During her sentencing, Judge Michael Maher said Gwinnett "played the long game" to isolate Joan and treat her like a "cash cow to be milked".

Family secretly filmed video of fraudster

The trial was played a video secretly filmed by David, showing a row with Gwinnett.

In the footage, Gwinnett shouts: "This is nothing to do with you - I'm power of attorney."

When the family say she doesn't speak for Joan, she yells: "Yes I do!"

She also accuses David of being a "criminal" and "grooming" his grandmother.

Joan can be heard asking "what's happening?" as David holds her hand and comforts her.

Judge Maher said the video showed Gwinnett's "self-assured shamelessness" and "brass neck".

Calling for Gwinnett's extradition, he said it was an "affront to justice and the rule of law" for her to remain in Tenerife.

Joan's family feel let down by the authorities' handling of Gwinnett's case while she was in the UK.

In March last year, a judge decided not to force Gwinnett to hand over her passport as part of bail conditions.

A month later, Gwinnett was issued with a bail notice requiring her to hand in her passport to police.

But she left the UK for Tenerife five hours after that notice was issued and has not returned to the UK since.

Attempts to remand fraudster in custody

The Crown Prosecution Service said it did all it could to keep Gwinnett in the UK and that when it became clear she was breaching her bail conditions by travelling between the UK and Tenerife, it asked Greater Manchester Police if an arrest could be made.

Greater Manchester Police said it arrested Gwinnett for fraudulently obtaining a new passport when it became aware she was breaching her bail conditions.

The force said it tried to get Gwinnett remanded in custody on four occasions, but her lack of previous convictions meant these attempts did not succeed.

Joan's family have complained to Lancashire Police for failing to launch a criminal investigation into Gwinnett's initial offending.

When relatives raised concerns about the huge sums of money leaving Joan's bank account, Lancashire Police concluded it was a civil matter and took no further action.

But when Joan's family took the same evidence to Greater Manchester Police, the force immediately launched a criminal investigation and arrested Gwinnett.

Deadline for court confiscation order lapsed

Lancashire Police said: "We can confirm that in March 2023 we were contacted in relation to an allegation of fraud. Our handling of that allegation is currently subject to an ongoing complaint which is with our Professional Standards Department and for that reason it would be inappropriate to comment any further at this time."

Preston Crown Court made a confiscation order of £350,180.79 against Gwinnett.

She had to pay this amount within three months, or she faces three and a half more years being added to her six-year prison sentence.

This timeframe has now lapsed, and it's unclear if Gwinnett paid the money.

Gwinnett has made applications to appeal both her conviction and sentence.

Joan's family are convinced this is not the first time Gwinnett has defrauded a vulnerable person.

"She's evil, but she's very, very clever at what she does," step-grandson David said. "She knows how to play the system. This isn't her first time of doing it, there's no way.

"She's too confident, she's too clued up on what to do and how to behave."

Gwent Police detectives said the exploitation activity took place in Newport, Swansea, London, Birmingham, Lancashire, Edinburgh and the Argyll and Bute area in Scotland during the 1980s and 1990s.

The men, who were arrested on Tuesday, have been charged with more than 30 offences, the CPS said.

The charges relate to eight victims who were children at the time of the alleged offences.

The men, aged 54 to 73, are all British citizens and are bailed to appear before Newport Magistrates' Court on 24 July.

Gwent Police said the CPS has authorised 34 charges, including 17 counts of rape, some of which relate to multiple incidents of alleged rape.

The force also said Operation Oak was an investigation into reports made by several women of sexual abuse committed against them as children between 1985 and 1996.

Those charged are: Shafaq Mohammed, 58, of Birmingham; Syed Mohammad Ashan Taqvi, 65, of Newport; Mohammed Sheikh Abdul Hannan, 54, of Edinburgh; Kevin Lawrence, 54, of Dunoon; Sheikh Mohammed Tahir Ullah, 73, of Newport; Aminur Rahman Chowdhury, 58, of Tottenham, London; Shakeel Babur, 58, of Lancashire; and Murad Ali, 57, of Swansea.

Jenny Hopkins, the chief crown prosecutor for the CPS, said: "We have decided to prosecute eight men with rape and child sexual abuse charges for alleged offending during 1985 to 1996 - following a Gwent Police investigation into organised grooming gang activity in South Wales.

"Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.

"We have worked closely with the Gwent Police as they carried out their investigation.

"We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against these defendants are active and that they have the right to a fair trial.

"It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."

Detective Chief Superintendent Andrew Tuck said: "At the heart of our investigation has been supporting victims. Together with specialist agencies, we are continuing to provide support to them.

"Anyone who reports child abuse will be taken seriously, and we would urge anyone who has suffered abuse or has concerns about someone who may be suffering to come forward.

"We will listen to you and investigate all offences and also ensure you have access to any help or support you need."
