A BRITISH woman was gang-raped repeatedly by three men in a horrific attack in Benidorm after they snatched her from a pub.
The attackers were jailed for over eight years each after being found guilty of the horrendous crime following a trial at a court in Alicante.
The tourist was raped in Benidorm (stock image)Judges found they raped the Brit tourist twice in just four hours.
They forced themselves on her after approaching her near a pub and taking her to a secluded spot where they sexually attacked her.
The first rape occurred in a park near a football ground in the Costa Blanca holiday resort and the second near El Cisne flea market.
She managed to escape after being taken to the second spot and alerted her mum when she got back to their hotel.
The convicted men, a Spaniard and two Moroccans aged between 24 and 34, have not been named ahead of a possible appeal.
Prosecutors said they were seeking sentences of just over 12 years for each of the men when they went on trial in November last year at Alicante’s Audiencia Provincial Court.
A court official said ahead of their trial: “State prosecutors are seeking prison sentences of twelve years and three months for three men accused of sexually abusing a woman several times.”
He added: “According to prosecutors they started a conversation with the young woman in a pub in Benidorm and, taking advantage of the drunken state she was in, took her to a nearby park where they raped her before driving her to waste ground where they repeated their crimes.
“The victim fled the scene as soon as she could but before she did, the men allegedly stole a watch and ring from her valued at EUROS 497 (POUNDS 365).
