The first victim considered one of the attackers to be her boyfriend after he befriended her on Snapchat, prosecutors said.

She travelled to meet him in Fordingbridge, where two other boys unexpectedly appeared.

The girl was “pressured” into having sex while being filmed and feared she might be thrown into a river if she did not comply with their wishes, prosecutors added.

Afterwards, the boys asked her, “Why do you look so sad?” and bought her a drink to “cheer her up”, the girl told the court.

After leaving her at a bus stop, she found the defendants had blocked her on social media.
