Schoolgirl repeatedly raped by three men ‘wanted to die', court hears
Speaking during their trial at Canterbury Crown Court, Prosecutor Hannah Llewellyn-Waters told jurors the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been 'used, abused, and discarded like trash'. She said: 'She was passed around and treated effectively as a receptacle for their own sexual gratification, and the defendant's conduct was callous, degrading, and entirely exploitative.' 'Screaming in the middle of the night' Speaking after the guilty verdicts, the girl's mum said: 'She doesn't want to do anything now. 'She doesn't leave the house without me, her dad, or his dad. She won't go out of the house other than that. 'She dragged her mattress into our bedroom when she was found. She slept in my room. 'She'd wake up crying and screaming in the middle of the night.' When the girl was first found, she initially claimed she had 'walked to Folkestone and back'. 'A completely different child' But once she was safely home, she broke down and told her parents what had really happened. 'She was absolutely terrified,' her mum said. 'Telling me that she wanted to die. 'She went very withdrawn – a completely different child.' Turtak claimed she had lied about her age, and said he, Horvath, and Gunar would never have spoken to her if they had known she was 12. 'She's been incredible' But jurors convicted him of rape of a child under 13. He had already pleaded guilty to taking indecent photos of a child. Meanwhile, Horvath, who had previously pleaded guilty to three charges of rape of a child under 13, and one charge of assault by penetration of a child under 13, was also convicted of sexual assault of a child under 13. Gunar, who previously pleaded guilty to one charge of rape of a child under 13, was convicted of a further two charges of rape of a child under 13. Horvath, Turtak, and Gunar have been remanded in custody until their sentencing on Sept 12. The girl's mum said: 'She just wants her justice now. I am so proud of her. She's been incredible.'

She won't go out of the house other than that. "She dragged her mattress into our bedroom when she was found. She slept in my room. "She'd wake up crying and screaming in the middle of the night." Canterbury Crown Court heard they struck on August 11, 2024, by persuading her to get in Horvath's car with the promise of a cigarette. The evil trio then drove her to Turtak's flat in Dover before she was taken to Gunar's caravan in Folkestone. Once there, the girl was plied with drugs - including crystal meth - and subjected to rape and other sexual acts. Threats to kill her were made if she tried to leave or raise the alarm and a photo of her standing naked in a bathtub was also taken. The horror only came to an end when the schoolgirl made a daring escape out of a window. She was found wearing different clothes by police three days after she was taken. Speaking of the moment she managed to escape, her mum said: "She was very brave to chance her arm and think, 'I can get out of this'. "She said she sat there for a couple of minutes - debating whether to try it. In the end she said she 'just knew she had to get out' so she just went head first through the window." Her mum also sobbed as she told how officers knocked on her door to reveal what the schoolgirl had been through. She said: "I thought it was her coming home."
