Two men who laughed as they raped a girl they met on Facebook have been locked up for six years each.

John-Claude Rugero, 19, of Ilford, and Prince Afriyie, 17, of Chigwell, were found guilty of raping the 17-year-old girl on a roundabout in Colchester, Essex.

The girl, who cannot be named, told jurors how she first chatted to the defendants on social networking sites Facebook and Bebo, two years before she was raped on a roundabout on August 12 last year.

Stephanie Farrimond, prosecuting, told the jury of seven women and five men that the teenage girl was a 'regular user' of social networking sites and used Bebo and Facebook among others.

The teenage girl gave her number to Rugero after meeting him online, Chelmsford Crown Court in Essex heard.

On August 11, 2008, Rugero, 19, contacted the girl to say he would be going to Colchester the next day to see her on her birthday.

The following day, the girl went into the town centre drinking with her sister-in-law, the court was told.

During the evening, she claims the defendants contacted her by phone but she did not arrange to meet with them.

Her sister-in-law went home and shortly afterwards the girl decided to go home herself, the jury heard.

But by chance she bumped into Rugero and his friend, who were with three other men in a car, at a roundabout as she walked home.

The men followed the girl into the underpass of the roundabout and when she tried to walk away they pulled her back into a garden in the middle of the roundabout.

Miss Farrimond said the 17-year-old defendant raped her first while Rugero held her shoulders and then 'immediately after he had finished Rugero took his turn'.

The victim told the court: 'When it was happening, my body closed down, all I could move was my eyes.

'JC didn't speak - all he did was laugh.'

Rugero, of Hainault, east London, and his co-defendant, from Chigwell, east London, each denied one count of rape but where found guilty by a jury at the trial. continues here
