FIVE teenagers who appeared in court charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, have had their hearing postponed.
The gang, who were refused bail at an earlier hearing, allegedly assaulted their victim with a torque wrench in Beckenham on March 17.
The members of the group, which includes two girls, are aged between 13 and 16.
One of the 16-year-old girls is also charged with committing an assault inflicting actual bodily harm.
The defendants were due to enter a plea at Croydon Crown Court on June 6.
The hearing was moved to the Old Bailey but adjourned until June 27, when they will reappear at Croydon.
