A schoolgirl who was repeatedly raped by three men after they lured her away from an Asda car park ‘wakes up crying and screaming in the night’.
The 12-year-old was ‘used, abused and discarded like trash’ by Ivan Turtak, 38, Kevin Horvath, 25, and Ernest Gunar, 27, in August last year.
The ‘complete strangers’ were found guilty following a trial at Canterbury Crown Court last week.
Now, the girl’s heartbroken parents have described how their once confident and outgoing daughter has become a shadow of her former self.
She 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.’
During the trial, jurors heard how the girl was abused across three locations – in the car she was lured into, Turtak’s flat in Dover, and a ‘dirty’ caravan in Folkestone.
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 headfirst through the window.’
Horvath, Turtak, and Gunar have been remanded in custody until their sentencing on September 12, where they are all expected to be handed lengthy jail terms.
