A 15-year-old girl had her drink spiked before being sexually assaulted by three teenage boys at a party in western Sydney, the Parramatta Children’s Court has heard.
Details of the callous attack – during which the girl lost consciousness – included allegations that one of the trio stopping the girl from leaving the room and covered her mouth to stop her screaming.
Yesterday, just over two months after the horrifying incident in Sydney’s Mt Druitt, all three teens were refused bail. A staff member at a local youth care organisation said it is believed one of the teenagers “was a child soldier of war”, and has no parents in Australia.
The 17-year-old from Liberia cannot be named because he is a minor.
The young girl visited the Mt Druitt home with a group of girlfriends on Saturday, May 21.
It is believed she was friends with one of the boys - a 15-year-old who lived in the house - and was only introduced to his two friends on the night. She was allegedly attacked when her girlfriends left the premises.
The day after, the 15-year-old was arrested and charged with four counts of aggravated sexual intercourse with a person aged 14-16.
Detectives arrested a 17-year-old boy at Hebersham on Tuesday. He was charged with detain for advantage, aggravated sexual assault in company and aggravated indecent assault in company.
The second 17-year-old, who was already on bail for unrelated offences, was arrested at Mount Druitt on Wednesday. He was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company and breaching bail.
All three boys were refused bail.
The Child Abuse Squad said its inquiries into the attack are ongoing.

And people ask me why I'm a feminist. This is why. I can't see people being raped and sit idly by. The boys deserve the harshest legal punishment and rehabilitation. I hope the poor girl gets all the help in the world to help her recover from this terrible ordeal. Please, parents, teach your children to be respectful, kind people.
Who would or do sit idly by when a poor 15 year girl is brutally raped? Unless your male friends consists of inmates convicted of rape, there are no men who would NOT do anything about it. They're lucky the police got to them first...
There are good men out there but the disgusting truth is there are high numbers of men who would condone it. That's why the world needs the good guys to be more involved in educating and stopping the ones that hurt others
To be fair to SS' point i don't think they were infering that only feminists care about this type of crime. It'd be fair to say though that feminists have been uniquely prominent in addressing the crime of rape and recognizing rape in it'smany forms and contexts. I'd say without feminism it'd be just as likely this poor girl wouldn't have been believed or supported.
I don't know about the men you know, no males I know would ever condone this.
This is disgusting and very similar to the account by Teagan Wagner (I think that's her name) except the difference being her "friends" also stole her underwear so it couldn't be used as evidence
These poor poor girls who go through this it's absolutely disgusting
