SYDNEY, Jan 29 AAP - Six teenagers, some dressed in school uniform, subjected a 13-year-old girl to a series of sex acts at two isolated toilet blocks and on a building rooftop in Sydney, a judge has been told.
The girl was told to perform oral sex on a number of the youths, one of whom later gave her his phone number and asked her to call him, according to the agreed facts.
Four of the teenagers faced a sentencing hearing in NSW District Court in Sydney on Thursday, three having pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated sexual intercourse with a girl under 14, and the fourth admitting two such charges.
The offences took place in July 2007, at two different toilet blocks in Yagoona and later on the rooftop of a Bankstown building.
The youths, who were 15 and 16 at the time, cannot be named for legal reasons.
A fifth teenager, who is facing a separate sentencing hearing, had arranged to meet the girl at a Bankstown bus depot, but she was surprised to find him with two other youths.
The trio then travelled to Yagoona, where other boys were waiting outside a female toilet block, where the first lot of offences occurred.
After the group was disturbed by council workers, the youths surrounded the girl and walked her to another nearby toilet block, where further offences took place.
She was later taken to the rooftop of a Bankstown building, where she gave oral sex to another male, after feeling "intimidated and threatened by the situation".
Later that evening, a friend rang the girl to inform her that video footage had been taken of her performing oral sex on one of the males.
The friend told the girl, a male, not involved in the offences, had been sent the footage and said the girl "looked like a slut".
The case of a sixth teenager is currently before another court.
The sentencing hearing is continuing before Judge Richard Cogswell.
