A 17-YEAR-old Stroud girl was raped by two men after she got hopelessly drunk on vodka while with them at a Cotswold beauty spot, a jury was told today on Monday.
Jordan Mills, 22, and Daniel Young, 23, both took advantage of her condition to have sex with her in a car before dropping her off 100 yards from her home, Gloucester Crown Court was told.
The girl was left to stagger home alone and was let into her house by her thirteen-year-old brother who was shocked at the state she was in, said prosecutor Martin Steen.
Her parents were so concerned that they called an ambulance and she was taken to hospital.
Mills, of Leeming Walk, Kingsway and Young, of St Michael’s Square, Gloucester, each deny raping the girl on October 4 last year.
Mr Steen told the jury of seven women and five men that the girl knew the defendants and had previously had sex with Mills by consent some time before the alleged rapes.
That night she and a woman friend went out with the two men and the girl gave the men money to buy vodka, Mr Steen said, They went to Coaley Peak, near Dursley, where the girl got very drunk.
Later the men dropped off the other girl in the Cashes Green area of Stroud but then took the alleged victim somewhere and both had sex with her, the prosecutor claimed.
Her memory of events was clouded by the alcohol she had drunk, he acknowledged.
But he said the law was clear that if men took advantage of a woman who was rendered incapable of consent or objection by alcohol they were guilty of rape.
“When she got home at 3.30am her brother, who was up because he had been unable to sleep, let her into the family home,” Mr Steen said.
“She was acutely drunk. She lay down and indicated she had been raped. She was stumbling.He called his parents.
Mr Steen said Jordan Mills later told police he did have sex with the girl as she lay in the back of his car.
But it was hot and sweaty in the car and the intercourse stopped and they took her home, he stated.
“He told the police that as he was driving she was in the back and she had intercourse with Young by consent.
The trial continues and is expected to last the week.
