Girl tells of rape ordeal

Nine schoolboys have been jailed for the rape, kidnap and false imprisonment of a 14-year-old girl. The judge lifted the anonymity order and seven members of the gang, led by O'Neil Denton, who were aged between 14 and 17 were named. This disturbing crime happened when the young girl told Denton's girlfriend he wasn't "right for her". The girl was then accosted, kidnapped - and dragged round three tower blocks in East London, raped, and beaten up by the gang. She told her story to Today's reporter Zubeida Malik.
