Three of the mob, Muhyadeen Osman, Bilal Ahmed, and Mowled Yussuf – all aged 20 – will spend a total of nearly three decades behind bars for their crimes after being sentenced at Manchester Crown Court.
These are the three sick men jailed for gang raping a schoolgirl after luring her into a hotel bathroom during a twisted game of hide and seek.
The 16-year-old was forced into sex at the Victoria Park Hotel, near Rusholme, by a mob who took turns to attack her.
The gang set upon the helpless girl after deciding she was ‘easy prey’.
Three of the mob, Muhyadeen Osman, Bilal Ahmed, and Mowled Yussuf – all aged 20 – will spend a total of nearly three decades behind bars for their crimes after being sentenced at Manchester Crown Court.
Two others have never been identified.
The court heard the traumatised victim’s ordeal began when she got the bus to Rusholme to meet a man for the first time, having swapped texts with him on Blackberry Messenger.

The man led her to the Victoria Park Hotel, where he and a number of other young men from south Manchester had hired rooms to celebrate Eid.
They had stayed at the hotel past checking out time, and were evading the porter by running along the corridor trying unlocked doors and hiding in rooms.
The girl joined in what she thought was a game – and ended up being pounced on in a bathroom of room 38.
Osman, of Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield; Ahmed, of Bexington Road, Whalley Range; and Yussuf, of Ravensoak Avenue, Levenshulme – have shown no remorse since they were found guilty of rape at a trial last year.
Yussuf, also found guilty of sexual assault by penetration, was sentenced to ten years behind bars; Osman, who was also found guilty of an unconnected robbery to 12 years, and Ahmed to nine.
Detective Constable Heather Clarkson said: “The victim has shown extreme bravery throughout the whole of this case and I would personally like to thank her.
“She has been supported by specially trained officers and she has shown the determination to ensure Osman, Yussuf and Ahmed were brought to justice.”
