The following is from news.com.au
FIVE Sydney teenagers allegedly recorded the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl on a mobile phone and "gloated" about it by sending the footage to students at a Catholic high school.
Details of the horrific attack were revealed in Parramatta Children's Court yesterday where two of the teenagers faced charges of aggravated sexual assault in company.
The court heard that the 17-year-old victim had no recollection of the alleged rape or being dumped on the front door of her home minus her underpants after the assault.
She was found the next morning by her mother.
Police allege the victim only became aware of the alleged rape when shown footage of the recorded attack four days after the January 9 assault.
Police prosecutor Graham Wedge told the court the five teenagers were "gloating" about the alleged rape by sending the footage to students at the girl's former Catholic high school last month.
"They were gloating in relation to their triumph ..." Mr Wedge said.
The five were arrested after teachers at the school became aware of the footage.
The details of the alleged attack were revealed during bail applications by two of the alleged attackers, both aged 17.
One of the teenagers who faced court was accused of recording the alleged attack on his mobile phone and later sending it via Bluetooth to friends - including students at the victim's former Catholic high school in Sydney's southwest.
The court heard the teenager had earlier agreed to meet with one of the accused - who was a friend of hers - and was taken to a house in Green Valley.
While at the house, a group of seven males and the teenager allegedly "played card games and consumed alcohol".
The girl told police she drank four drinks in "quick succession before becoming very drunk".
Police prosecutor Graham Wedge said the victim as in a "drunken stupor".
"At some time during the night, the complainant was taken to a bedroom where she was placed on the bed.
One of the young persons pushed up the complainant's denim skirt and removed her underpants," a statement of alleged facts tendered to the court said.
One of the accused, a 17-year-old labourer from Green Valley, allegedly began having sex with the semi-conscience teenager.
Yesterday he sat sobbing in the dock, while, outside the court, his grandfather abused media and his mother told reporters to "just go to f..king hell".
During the alleged assault, a second teenager - a Year 12 high school student - "got his mobile phone and began to record this using the phone's video recorder".
While the first teenager was allegedly raping the victim, a second "climbed on to the complainant's face" before allegedly forcing her to perform a sex act.
"The victim could be seen on the video recording trying to push (the accused teenagers) away and trying to get up from the bed," the statement said.
Police allege up to five other males were watching the alleged assault and could be heard on the footage encouraging each other and laughing.
One of the accused allegedly broke wind on the girl's face before saying: "Get that into ya".
He is then seen on the footage "high fiving" another co-accused before slapping the victim.
Four days after the alleged rape, the offender accused of recording the attack called the victim and invited her out again.
She was allegedly taken to a house in Austral and shown the recording.
Mr Wedge told the court the teenager did not report the assault "out of fear" and had allegedly been harassed by the accused.
The court heard the police were notified after teachers at the victim's former Catholic high school became aware of the footage.
Magistrate Antony Townsden yesterday refused both teenagers bail and remanded them into custody until May 31.
Three other teenagers are expected to face court today.
The teenagers face up to 20 years jail if convicted.
These guys deserve more than 20 years, they deserve to be put to sleep in the most inhumane way possible. It is disgusting that at this age people can commit such horrendous crimes.
Although i agree with you saying they should be put to sleep, I reckon they should be locked up first in the worst prison in australia where they will get raped themselves. That way they will understand what it was like for the girl (although she was pretty much out of it) and they can be some massive dudes bitch for a couple of years and see how they like it.
I cant understand how people could think that was funny. The parents of those kids should be ashamed of themselves!
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people
These generation of kids have little to no respect of anything. Women, of all things, should be treated with the most respect. These little f**kwits need to be given lashes as well as jail-time.
Seriously, what the f**k is wrong with kids this day and age? Most likely from the influence of **** from YouTube and Break.com I reckon. They think that they are invincible and unbreakable. Sometimes I wonder if they have a brain cell in that minute head-space.

the thing is if they goto jail... they will become a bitch to big fella called "bubba" ... child molesters and rapists get treated the worst in jail they deserve everything that is comming to them
Perhaps the comments made outside the courtroom by one of the scum's relatives gives some indication as to the type of citizens both he and his family are,they should be keeping their mouths shut and hanging their heads in shame.I like that idea of them all becoming some big fella's bitch thoNothing like a good reaming to heighten their sense of remorse and consequence of actions
Seems to be a sad indication of how society is heading that an action,no matter how bad or just plain disgusting it is,is captured on video and made available to an audience.The rape is more than bad enough but recording then distributing it puts it into an even lower realm of maggot behaviour.I hope your judicial system isn't as soft as ours and they get the book thrown at them!

hopefully they dont get charged as minors and get the maximum sentance possible.
just think of what their parents would think of them. i know if my son did that i would totally disown him, wouldnt provide any finacial support during the trial, would not welcome him in my house and wouldnt speak with him forever. i would also encourage the rest of my family to do the same.
not only have these idiots taken away a girls dignaty, they have shamed themselves and their family
If they go to jail the soft system we have now will spend millions protecting them from Bubba & his amorous advances. They will be kept in isolation & away from the general population. I would prefer that we use a pencil sharpener on there genitals, scum like this dont deserve to breathe.
It's times like these I wish we could use Aboriginal punishment. For rapists and child rapists there pen1s is burnt and sealed at the end and a hole on the top that way when they pee it's goes all over them.
I think they should put them in jail with the rest of the population, remove their ability to ever have another hard on through the use of surgery that way they can never rape anyone again.
They were calculating and the fact they knew what they were doing was wrong proves they should be charged appropriately. I think it's the purpose of the people in your state to put pressure on the government to make damn certain they get what they deserve.
Rape against a woman or a man takes away someone's dignatity and nothing will bring that back.

my 2 cents
Always In Construction Mode!!!!!![]()
i think you'll find that gang rapes have been happening for quite sometime all over the world, and that they are not something "this generation" has invented. they certainly get more attention nowadays and people at younger ages are learning their rights and reporting these things. Gang rapes are in some countries treated differently to we treat tehm here, as more people from those countries move to Australia we are certainly more likely to see these people assume they behave this way here.
Take for example Geoff Clark, ATSIC leader and Aboriginal spokesperson. Led a gang-rape 20something years ago and has just been found guilty. certainly not someone of this generation.
My point is that it is wrong, its always been wrong, but lets not consider it something new created by this 'generation'.
Would it be possible to cut off the penis of these people? ensure that it was the last time they ever got any enjoyment, then bubba can still turn them into mince meat behind closed cell doors.
They need to be abused for the rest of their life in prison. Killing them painfully little by little is the best way rather than quick death. THEY NEED TO FEEL THE PAIN!!!!
I tell you who should go to hell. He sat sobbing in the dock because he was caught the stupid prick. What about the poor girl whos life now is going to be spent in therapy.
And watch these little f@@ks walk out of jail with about a 6 year sentence.
I dunno i was brought up to respect wemon treat them well never lay a hand on them, this kinda **** just really angers me.
maybe we should let some men hating butch lesbians go a few rounds with a baseball bat before we throw em in the can.
I have a sister and if this happened to her they would hope to christ they got put in jail before I caught up with em.

vlv8vic - I agree with everything you said. But don't you think that this 'Y' generation is troubled? This generation for some reason has not been taught the correct morals of society. Whether it's from overworked parents that have no time to teach their children or these kids were mentally unstable. Who knows??

I know for a fact that I was taught right from wrong when I was a child. I'll be passing on these morals with my children one day.

The fitting punishment for this crime should be first up “Castration” while the girl and her parents and their own parent watch on.
Secondly why do we protect this low life scum by segregating them from the general population while in jail they don’t deserve to be protected from Bubba and his penis wheeling mates, it would them good to actually feel what the girl had to and as we know the prison doesn’t issue Vaseline to Bubba and his buddies.
But the weak society we live in will say bad boys and place them in protective segregation for the short period they will serve.
If this was my child I am afraid they wouldn’t make it to jail, time and money would mean nothing to me after this tragic crime against a young girl.![]()

This is an open and shut case. They were stupid enough to film themselves in the act and then torment the victim with the footage. Had they had any remorse they would have instantly deleted the footage not passed it around.
In cases where rape is a he said she said situation the court can make the wrong decision (guilty people get let off and not-guilty people go to jail) but you'd have to be a complete tool to mess this case up.
Locking them up with all the other criminals for a good stretch will show the rest of the country this will not be accepted.

I'm going to be controversial here and say that while what they did was wrong, what the hell was the girl doing in a house with seven other guys. Then she got drunk. Does she live on another planet? If it was at a party where there were guys and girls and they homed in on her, then yes, string them up, but she wasn't dragged into the house by her hair. Who is to say that her version was correct? They have footage sure, but it wasn't until it was shown around and she was no doubt humiliated that the rape was alleged.
After reading about the boy who spent 12 months behind bars after being falsely accused of rape by a girl I think all investigations should be completed before charges are laid. These guys should be punished yes, but to what extent? How willing was this girl in the first place? It's too easy to say you got drunk and had no recollection, just another way to get back at these guys for humiliating her.

She didn't "allege" rape this was "alleged" by the teachers. FFS just cause you go to a house and get drunk does not mean you accept being raped what planet are you from. Stop smoking up mate!

mate, i dont want to start an arguement here but ever thought people do have respect? just VEEEEEEEERY FKN BAD EGGGS (like them) make all people of that generation look bad. im 18 so im 1 year older and im assuming i would be as that generation.
seriously it annoys the **** out of me to be classed as disrespectful when i know im not... i hate it when people do such stupid things like this, why rape someone? FKN HELL! we will all tip in a dollar each and they can go pay for a prostitute...
im happy woth that suggestion.... **** this **** up! do it slowly...
ever need a hand you know my email, 2 things i hate the most in this world and can not stand is seeing/hearing about a guy hitting and/or raping a chick... i can watch somebody die infront of me or get cut open and im fine but this makes me sick to my stomach and ashamed to be a male sometimes(i know that sounds weird)......
so if anybody needs a hand to give them what they deserve i will happily lend a hand and a bunch of mates who hate this **** also
BTW sorry about the attitude and aggression, im usually calm in my post but this just ****s me more then words can explain![]()
She went to the house and got drunk, she exposed herself to a potential risk, she needs to accept some responsibility. Saying that she should never have been touched is a perfect world scenario. We live in a society where these things do happen so avoiding risky situations has to be somehow a persons responsibility.
Oh officer, I was just walking home through a dark park on my own at 3am, the bad man shouldn't have been there.
Mate I've been in some situations you would say are downright crazy. e.g walking through redfern on my own at 2 in the morning. and i've been fine yet I've been attacked in my own house.
In Brisbane people have been abducted and raped in broad daylight. How the hell is that exposing themselves to a potential risk. I see your point but I've been to parties where it has been a sausage fest and no one got friggin raped.
