Five men who took part in the “gang rape” of a 17-year-old girl in a car in the Midlands have been jailed for a total of 66 years.

Justice Tara Burns said that the men, who were aged 17 to 19 at the time, “behaved like animals” on the night of December 27, 2016. She said there was “not a shred of humanity or respect” in their actions.
