(England) A 14-year-old schoolgirl was sexually assaulted in a city centre park by 3 Syrian refugees shortly after one of them is said to have molested her friend, a court in Newcastle England heard.
The two 14-year-olds were in Newcastle’s Leazes Park when it is claimed they were targeted by Syrian refugees Mohammed Hamdan Alfrouh, Omar Marwan Badreddin and Mohammad Allakkoud who had only been in the country 6 weeks.
One of the girls was taken behind a hut near a pavilion and was subjected to a sexual assault while one of the men held his hand over her mouth.
Alfrouh, 20, of no fixed address, maintained it didn’t go beyond kissing.
Badreddin, 18, of Ryal Walk, Kenton, Newcastle, claimed girl 1 had ‘come onto him’ and he believed she was over 18.
Allakkoud, 18, of Tamworth Road, Newcastle, disputes any involvement.
All three defendants are standing trial with the help of translators. The trial continues.
