12-YEAR-OLD WAS PLIED WITH DRUGS AND THREATENED WITH DEATH

THREE men who repeatedly raped a 12-year-old girl after she was lured into a car in Dover have all been given lengthy prison sentences.

Kevin Horvath and Ivan Turtak approached their victim in a supermarket car park on August 11 last year before driving her to various locations and subjecting her to horrific abuse for several days, along with a third offender, Ernest Gunar.

All three were convicted of multiple child sex offences including rape following a trial earlier this year, and were sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court last Friday (September 12).

Horvath, 26, of King Street, Dover, and Turtak, 38, of George Street, Dover, were each sentenced to 17 years in prison. Gunar, 27, of Sidney Street, Folkestone, was sentenced to 19 years in prison.

All three men, who are Slovakian nationals, will also serve an additional three years on licence under the terms of extended sentences.

It was revealed during the trial that the young girl was plied with drugs and alcohol while being repeatedly sexually abused, having first been taken to Turtak's flat in Dover before then being driven to a caravan owned by Gunar in Folkestone.
