A GANG of youths who made a sordid home video of a teenage girl as they put her through a 90-minute sex ordeal face jail.

Ewart Hodge, aged 21, of Sparta Street, Greenwich, Daniel Gordon, aged 21, of Tanner’s Hill, Deptford, and Lawrence Charles, aged 18, of Lethbridge Estate, Lewisham, used a camcorder to film themselves sexually assaulting the schoolgirl.

An Old Bailey jury of nine women and three men were forced to watch the video, entitled Lethbridge X-Rated Part One, as evidence of the sexual abuse.

The 15-year-old girl, branded “easy and available” after the video was distributed throughout the Lethbridge Estate, then suffered “systematic and serial abuse” by Adam Parker, aged 22, of Windmill Close, Lewisham, Gerald Rodney, aged 23, of Lethbridge Close, Lewisham, and two 17-year-olds.

Each of the gang, who initially denied a range of charges including rape and other sexual assaults over the course of nearly a year, pleaded guilty last week to having unlawful sexual intercourse and were cleared of the other charges on the judge’s direction.

Hodge, who is already serving eight years for raping a pastor’s daughter, also admitted indecently assaulting the girl.

The pleas, accepted by the prosecution, mean the girl will be spared the humiliation of being cross-examined by seven barristers.

Hodge first had unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl in October 2001, taking her virginity when she was just 14.

On February 10, 2002, he took the girl to a flat in New Cross where she was introduced to Charles and Gordon. There were at least five others there as well. There were also video cameras.

Prosecuting, Ann Cotcher had told the jury: “The video branded the girl as easy and available and as someone who would do anything to please.

“She was approached to have sex by men she hardly knew. She became frightened to even walk in public.” Parker, Rodney and the two 17-year-olds, one from Greenwich, then had unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl over the following seven months.

Hodge, Gordon, Charles, Parker and Rodney were remanded in custody while the younger defendants were released on conditional bail. They will all be sentenced on July 16.
